Thousands of pounds of pot worth $3.6 million found floating off Calif. coast
By Marian Smith, msnbc.com
Harbor Patrol officers found nearly 8,000 pounds worth of marijuana floating off the coast of Orange County, Calif., on Sunday, according to reports.
The marijuana found south of Los Angeles was packed in around 160 bales and had an estimated street value of $3.6 million, border patrol agents told CBS Los Angeles.
"Shortly before noon on Sunday, May 20, maritime law enforcement authorities received a tip about suspicious bales floating in the water off the coast of Orange County, near Dana Point," border patrol agent supervisor Michael Jimenez said in a statement.
The haul reportedly totaled 7,263 pounds.
Coast guard petty officer Seth Johnson told the Orange County Register that the bales were first reported by a boater who saw them floating around 15 miles offshore.
Three Harbor Patrol ships and a Coast Guard cutter were sent to recover the marijuana from the water.
The incident was out of the ordinary, Jimenez told the Register.
"At other events, they've dumped the bales to get rid of weight if they're being chased," he said. "Generally in these cases we're aware they're being dumped. What's more unusual is that the bales were floating with no boat in sight."
No suspects or vessel have been identified in connection to an ongoing investigation, the Register reported.

Wish the current would have floated those bales up north to Washington! I wonder if it was good smoke or not?

Probably not, after floating in the sea who knows how long.

is that 8000 lbs of wet ass weed, or did it stay dry. If it stayed dry, I see no reason why it would be bad at all.

Mexican brick weed is what it was at $500/lb. I smoke it, its good enough for me, but many others look down on it. It good to see a true value placed on the drug rather than the usual inflated prices they use. Im suprized they didn't claim it was worth $1000 or $2000 a pound to make their find worth $7.5-$15 million
and dodgem; yes it would have been dry, in sealed packages, They are sealed because it takes a while to distribute (by the time the user is smoking it) and it would dry out and become nearly worthless if left in unsealed bags or in open air.

Apparently we don't have the sharpest bulbs in the shed on this sub-forum.
My fellow Rhodes scholars, if it was waterlogged, it would sink.
