coast were seriously bumming Monday, when the Drug
Enforcement Administration announced the seizure and
destruction of huge quantities of seriously primo

According to a DEA spokesman, more than 16,000 pounds
of marijuana—with a street value of, shit, practically
$70 million or something—was destroyed in the bust,
the largest illegal-crop confiscation by the federal
government in a hell of a long time.

"We are making headway in the ongoing war on drugs,
but there's no doubt we're fighting an uphill battle,"
said DEA agent Thomas Vineland, who assisted in the

We do what we can, but the sad fact is, many citizens

cannabis like we incinerated today."
