A resident of Mexico has been charged for conspiracy to grow marijuana with the intent to distribute it and damage to public lands and natural resources, according to federal prosecutors.
Everado Cuadro Campos, 49, who is from Michoacan, Mexico, was arrested July 17 at a “marijuana garden” in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest in Shasta County, according to a news release by the United States Department of Justice.
U.S. Forest Service and California Department of Fish and Wildlife agents found a marijuana cultivation site near Rock Creek, according to a Department of Justice criminal complaint, and entered through a “well-worn” path. A Forest Service special agent noticed plastic water lines that diverted water from a drainage area of the nearby creek.
The piping led the agents to a campsite, where a rifle, homemade spear, and knives were found, the complaint said. Agents followed the trail down to marijuana growth site, where they heard footsteps and Campos appeared, though he ran as soon as he saw the agents, the complaint said.

“but weed is like zucchini”
This year in CA it will be essentially free.
Every adult can grow 6 plants and keep the proceeds.
6 plants could easily be 12 pounds, and up to 30 pounds of buds.
And NOBODY can smoke 30 pounds of strong weed in a year.
Nobody.
“I’m for legalization, especially for personal growth and use.”
OK, as soon as you come with a plan to support the millions that would do nothing but smoke dope for the rest of their lives once it was legal.
No S%#t, Sherlock. Here in southern OR, growers are already putting up their land for sale. I know of one ranch that put more than $500k into greenhouses and equipment and he’ll never get it out. His production costs are more than he’ll reap.
That's easy. Universal Basic Income. (kidding)
I’m acquainted with a guy that says he smokes an ounce a week. All I can say is “How?”
Yeah...lol
Desert Hot/Hemp Springs is booming in commercial MJ production. At least 20 separate parcels under development using hydroponics with over 4000SF per facility(some having about 20 warehouses each) on 5 acre to 20 acre compounds.
Caught on the potcom bubble.
I’ve seen people that would smoke 6-8 joints a day, everyday without fail.
“And NOBODY can smoke 30 pounds of strong weed in a year”
Except for the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. :)
Funniest comics I’ve ever read and I’ve never smoked pot.
That’s actually pretty funny. Southern Oregon prides itself on its’ sun-grown organic herb. Electric moss is so pre-legalization, college dorm closet, man.
Right!
Already happening in Oregon...plus regulations.
2,079 plants. They were really trying to be accurate here!
I guess I’m just caught up in memories of high school, when an ounce cost $60 and you didn’t let it go up in smoke.
He was just a dreamer.
Meanwhile, Podesta, Brennan and Hillary are free as a bird.
