Texas Cops Need Help Getting Rid Of 200,000 Pounds Of Weed

They've had some of it since the year 2000...and NOBODY has found time in TEN years to take the plastic off?!?!?!?

Well, if they don't want to smoke it, why not turn it into fuel, food, building materials, or something constructive rather than flush valuable resources down our already gaping (proverbial not literal) sewer



well, why don't they let all the non-violent pot "criminals" go and give each of them a couple pounds each as a grub stake.. of course, you'd have to be awfullly fair minded to consider that, huh? and it'd make more room in the prisons for those violent offenders who really need being put away...?

turn every single last bud into THC Oil- then distribute to cancer patients and patients alike- as it has healing properties and strengthens immune systems.. plus much more..

"it just keeps coming in and coming in"

Well gee people. Years of Drug Interdiction has accomplished nothing? It just keeps coming? Hmmmmn, what would be a good solution?

Well, if they don't want to smoke it, why not turn it into fuel, food, building materials, or something constructive rather than flush valuable resources down our already gaping (proverbial not literal) sewer

sell it to california.

The Brooks County Sheriff's Department has a marijuana problem. They've got 200,000 pounds of pot, and they're complaining that it would be too expensive to destroy it.

"This is a problem that doesn't seem to be going away and anything we can get to help us to dispose of these cases once they're done and to get ready for the next one that are coming in would be a great help," said Deputy Daniel Davila.

Something tells me Toke of the Town readers could be of great assistance to the deputy. After all, at a trying time like this, we all have to pitch in, people!

All of the confiscated cannabis comes from drug cases over the past decade, reports Manuel De La Rosa at KIII-TV. And for now, all that unwanted weed sits in some storage trailers, awaiting an uncertain fate.

The marijuana dates back as far as 2000. According to authorities, the previous sheriff either didn't keep good records, or didn't get destruction orders from judges.

It's a priority for the current sheriff to get rid of the hundreds of thousands of pounds of pot. Deputies destroyed some of the bundles of bud with two visits to the Department of Public Safety incinerator in McAllen, Texas last year, but it cost them nearly $30,000.

The problem seems to be unwrapping the plastic off the marijuana, commonly used by Mexican drug smugglers, and Brooks County just doesn't have the manpower to do that. The county has a small sheriff's department, with only seven patrol officers and one criminal investigator.

"(It's) very time consuming," Deputy Davila said. "Probably for preparation to get it ready a week or more, whatever trailers we are going to use to transport it up there, and it would take several officers especially to remove the plastic from the contraband."

Just for the past 16 months, Brooks County has started keeping more marijuana seized from cases under Sheriff Rey Rodriguez. Already, they've filled two trailers with pot.

The problem is, the dank deluge continues; the cannabis cases keep coming in, and the weed just stacks up higher and higher.

The only place deputies can currently destroy the pot is at the DPS Lab in McAllen, but plans are afoot to pool resources in the Coastal Bend to destroy the weed locally.

County officials believe that would be less costly and might solve their marijuana storage problems.

:USFlag: My country needs me, I'll step up to the plate.

200000 pound???? It is some SERIOUS CASH right there. Why don't they send them down to CA???

We need them to BAIL US OUT.

How much does 200000 pounds of goodies cost???


Say $100 per ounce X 16 per pound X 200,000 = $320,000,000.00

Now how much did it cost in resources to gather that much?

What if it were regulated like Alcohol?

CA made 100 Billion last year on legal pot.



Why does Obama not use this money to PAY for his OBAMACARE???

320000000 dollars can bail out a lot of states, companies, and people.

HOw did Texans manage to COLLECT that much over the YEAR???
