    Biggest Pot Bust in Santa Barbara History?

    At Least 80,000 Plants Found on North County Ranch

    Santa Barbara Sheriffs Deputies seized what may be the largest number of marijuana plants in county history from ranch land on both sides of Highway 1 near Lompoc. One of the ranches involved was owned by the family of Jim Poett, husband of Independent editor and co-owner Marianne Partridge. Sheriffs spokesman Sgt. Erik Raney said none of the property owners were considered suspects, and that they’d been extremely cooperative. It’s typical, said Raney, for clandestine cultivators to locate their operations on secluded and remote lands not useful for farming and ranching.

    Santa Barbara/ Ventura Counties are becoming infested with the third world lifestyle being brought across our borders. A friend of mine out on a hike on Ranch property above the Rincon, was threatened by two hispanic males who had guns pointed on him. He was told to leave and never come back or he would regret it. He told me there are many places in Los Padres and closer to the foothills where pot is grown by drug cartels originally from Mexico. My friend cautioned me to be wary while on my hikes.

    Standingalone, we have had this same problem in UT as well. There are many places outside of Bryce Canyon which have been used as big pot farms as well.

    Don't know if it's still true, but pot farming used to be OR's #1 cash crop.
    Now, it seems, with the large-scale arrival of Mexican drug cartels, the problem is much worse...
