Marijuana raid sets record
by Tiffany Tuell(Updated: Thursday, July 29, 2010, 12:00 AM)
A multi-agency marijuana eradication operation held Tuesday resulted in the arrest of three Mexican nationals and recovered 25,242 plants from two grows located between Coarsegold and Oakhurst.
Some plants had already been harvested but had the majority of plants reached maturity in early September, they would have netted nearly $76 million.
This number surpasses the recent 18,100 plant eradication in Coarsegold, making this the largest number of marijuana plants eradicated on private land in Madera County.
"It's always a success when you make arrests behind the eradications," said Lt. Darin McMechen, Madera County Sheriff's Department.
The growers were living in a mobile home located on the same private property as the grows. Two of the Mexican nationals were arrested at the mobile home in the early morning hours by Drug Enforcement Administration officials without incident. The third was scared out of a grow and was caught running toward the mobile home.
Also recovered at the mobile home were a 12-gauge shotgun, a 22-caliber rifle, and2 pounds of processed marijuana.
Arrested were: Paulv Bentancourt Jr., 22, from Michoacan, Mexico, who was captured with a Mexican ID card with a Modesto address; Rigoberto Soto, 38, from Guanajato, Mexico, a tourist area three hours northwest of Mexico City; and Jose DeJesus Rodriguez Rodriguez, 36, of Guanajato, Mexico, a Guatalajaro Army reservist who completed active duty in 1996.
Also on the property at the time of the arrests were two females and five children.
The three arrested could be facing federal drug charges, which render a larger sentence if convicted.
According to a Madera Narcotics Enforcement Team spokesman who wishes to stay anonymous, the money growers make from these marijuana grows is used to further their cocaine and methamphetamine operations.
"We have three growers in custody. We got marijuana off the streets, and we confiscated weapons," said MADNET's spokesman. "We're doing what's important."
Last year, according to MADNET, 7 million plants were eradicated state-wide last year. "These are sophisticated growing operations," a MADNET spokesman said. "They take the marijuana and move it all across California and the nation."
According to Madera County Sheriff John Anderson, 94% of marijuana grown in the United States is grown in California.
"We've got so many open lands in California and public lands with National Forest and an ideal climate," Anderson said. "They need four things to grow: a remote area, water, sunshine and four months. They can get all those things up here."
District Attorney Michael Keitz said even if marijuana was legalized, it wouldn't stop drug trafficking operations like this one because they are too big, but Keitz did say that Madera County is getting a fair chunk of the illegally grown substance.

Law enforcement is retarded, if they were really making progress they would start to see smaller grows less on a less frequent scale

Knowing how resale works in the legal sector, and reading that mobile homes were involved, I'm assuming that producers don't make most of the profits.
I don't like the fact that I can get into trouble for taking an innocent walk in the countryside.
They've even been known to take over private property.
When we say this is a moral thing to do, the assumption is that it's not causing any hardships for the people who want no part in it.

Funny thing is these guys could probably keep their jobs after cannabis is legalized.
As it stands the vast majority are sent to grow in cali by the cartel leadership and they probably don't make too much more than the laborers and farmers of a regular crop as the majority of profit goes towards distribution/sales or to the same cartel leadership.
After prop 19 passes, someone's still gotta grow the stuff, biggest difference is that it will be American entrepreneurs sending illegals to do the grunt work of the task as opposed to the cartels. It will still be markedly better than the status quo though as the profits will, instead of flowing into mexico and fueling bloodshed, get nicely split between savings to the end consumer, taxes for the government, and profit for the entrepreneur.
As much as we might like to see nothing but AAAA grade, organic, hippie hand grown, top shelf buds for $60 a zip on the market, I imagine things will be eerily similar in the world of cannabis production for at least the first few years after legalization.
