Officials announce 'largest marijuana garden' bust in Humboldt County history

Law enforcement officials today announced the 'largest marijuana garden' bust in Humboldt County history.

In a press release, the Sheriff's Department said 134,082 marijuana plants that ranged in height from 1 foot to 3 feet were found at the Bear Creek drainage off United States Forest Service Route 1. Eradication of the garden took place from Monday to Thursday.

The area is located approximately 35 miles south of Berry Summit off State Highway 299. The garden sites were located on Green Diamond Timber Company property and United States Forest Service property.

The press release said officers located evidence in the garden sites that linked the marijuana gardens to a Mexican drug trafficking organization. No suspects were located near the gardens.

At harvest time, the marijuana plants would have an estimated street value of $469 million, the Sheriff's Department said.

The California Attorney General's Office Campaign Against Marijuana Planting, or CAMP, the United States Forest Service, the Humboldt County Drug Task Force, the Eureka Police Department, and the United States Coast Guard assisted the Sheriff's Department in the effort.

That shit could have been my meds for all they know...fucking dicks.

it probablly could've been alot of weed... alotta humboldt stuff is sent out all over the place. The weed up there is fantastic, and its well-priced ( similar to canadian prices ).

damn thats a forest not a grow op....where are the tree huggers when you need em cut down a few acrea of trees and they wont shut up but cut down an entire forest of herb and ......its silent

This sounds fishy to me.
I don't believe it's true.
I think the feds are so desperate to look like they can actually control the cannabis market by intimidation, that they make up 'wag the dog' stories to make themselves look good. If there ever were gardens, they probably planted them just so they could 'find' them and deport some poor illegal Mexicans to make a big show. Like a giant game of liars poker. They just declared five aces.
I call their bluff.

Yes, well they certainly do have a reputation of lying about how much they found. This is all a ploy to make it seem like the War on Drugs is actually working.

Probably an exaggeration, but it's not really THAT much considering how much weed is grown here in California.

"Biggest lie ever"
