SIDE LAKE, MN — A Boundary Waters Drug Task Force operation found a lot of pot last week north of Hibbing — the biggest marijuana growing operation the agency has ever seen in northern Minnesota.

That’s the assessment of BWDTF Commander Dennis Benz in describing a flyover/ground discovery of more than 1,300 marijuana plants weighing more than 2,000 pounds and carrying a street value of more than $1 million.
My plants are pretty close to where this bust happened. I only have 9 plants left growing but that diehard DNR plane keeps flying over . I guess i'll see how good they are at spotting em... let the cat and mouse begin!

They used a Blackhawk Helicopter? A bit overkill. Now that's a waste of our tax dollars. Hope your grow is safe Greenlife. Peace, Tex

My thoughts exactly... Devaluation of the Dollar hard at work. The best part is that their actually drying it out completely so they can get the accurate weight of it. More like so they can keep it for themselves..!

They might have figured out what happens when you put wet weed in plastic bags and wait for the trial.

Think theyre gonna manicure the buds also so its really a "True" street level value?

Unbeleivable... i could just see em sittin there trimmin em up. then puttin that sweet smell up their nose, watchin the crystals dry, then 1 says, "lets try it!"

after they trim it they have to smoke it to do a smoke report to see how much it was really worth.
