NAVARRO COUNTY (May 28, 2009)—Navarro County sheriff’s deputies have seized 2,500 young marijuana plants that were growing in Styrofoam cups deep in a heavily wooded area along the Trinity River bottom in the eastern part of the county near State Highway 31.
The seedlings would later have been transplanted.
The Sheriff’s Office says each plant at maturity would have produced about a pound of marijuana.
The total estimated street value of 2,500 pounds of pot is about $2 million, the Sheriff’s Office said.
The deputies cleared the field early Wednesday morning.
No arrests were made, but an investigation is underway.

Why bother with this field? The time could have been used to bust a meth lab. They are dangerous to everyone. Explosions, fumes, addicts that steal to supply their habit. Never heard of anyone robbing a store to buy weed. Maybe a twinkie for the munchies.

Legalize drugs and tax them. Our country would be debt free, the prisons would not be busting at the seams and the crime rate would drop. If people are stupid enought to abuse drugs (just like tobacco and alcohol) then let them.
