Border Officers Find 5 Tons of Pot in Shipments of Pebbles, Peppers, and Herbs April 8, 2011 - ktla.com

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers intercepted 9,434 pounds of marijuana in three separate shipments in the past 2 days.
On Wednesday, April 6, at about 4 p.m. at the Tecate port of entry commercial cargo processing, a 34-year-old male Mexican citizen entered the port driving a tractor hauling a flatbed with 16 pallets of beach pebbles.
CBP officers ran the truck and shipment through an imaging device, similar to an x-ray, and noted anomalies at the top of each pallet of pebbles.
CBP officers continued their inspection, removing the pebbles, and discovered packages of marijuana within each container.
CBP officers found 335 large packages, totaling 4,891 pounds of marijuana, with a street value of $2.9 million.
Two hours later, at the Otay Mesa cargo facility, CBP officers encountered a 39-year-old male Mexican citizen driving a tractor trailer transporting produce, yellow peppers.
A CBP officer with a human/narcotic detector dog screened the pallets of produce, and the canine alerted.
CBP officers found 49 packages co-mingled with the yellow peppers in boxes, containing 304 pounds of marijuana.
On Thursday, April 7, at about 6:30 p.m. at the Otay Mesa cargo facility, a CBP officer referred a 58-year-old male Mexican citizen, driving a tractor-trailer with a shipment manifested as mixed produce, cilantro, chives, and mint leaves, for a more intensive examination.
CBP officers subsequently discovered 348 packages of marijuana hidden in the produce, weighing 4,239 pounds, with a street value of $2.5 million.

Why??? Who is still buying / smoking this brick stuff?
It is called Medical Marijuana people!!!
I mean maybe if I want to smoke without getting too high....
But really? A # of outdoor in Norcal from a friend is like 900$ - 1800$ [I don't sell so don't ever contact me.]
A pound of brick in Indiana is like 300-1000$...
You cant find brick in Cali..
MOVE TO CALI PEOPLE!
It will be legal in 2 years across the nation. Grow while you can medically legally where you can for now.
When it is legal there won't be any money. Free weed at the BBQ.

Moving to CA wouldn't be a bad idea but it still costs money. Just transporting yourself there can cost 500-1k+
I tried to do it a little bit ago but it didn't work out. Cannabis market crashed anyway so who cares.

In Oklahoma all you can find is brick, or the "kind bud" that you find should really just be sold for like 5 dollars a gram. Its all fucking trash. The funny part is everyone around here has been bone dry for the past couple months, literally. To the point that I've been buying spice from headshops to get a fix.
Its fucking sickening.
