It was just pot, nothing more. Unfortunately it was probably grown outside this country which means that some Americans didn't get jobs picking and processing the stuff. There went some more American jobs. HAH!

Hope they keep that good, good doggie safe. There's probably a hit out on the dog.

There have been quite a few "big drug" busts lately. Seems like it should make some kind of impact on drug cartels losing the money. But, what do I know. If Americans would stop using the stuff, it wouldn't be such a problem.
