18 Wheeler loaded with drugs northbound
SARITA, Texas — More than five tons of marijuana wrapped in plastic and stacked on pallets have been seized from a truck loaded with broccoli at an inland South Texas checkpoint.

The Border Patrol says its agents discovered the contraband Saturday night at its Sarita checkpoint, about an hour north of the border on U.S. Highway 77, after a drug-detecting dog alerted them.

Border Patrol announced Monday that the 470 bundles of marijuana were worth about $8.2 million.

Damn! That's a lotta weed. TX gonna get real dry for a week until the next shipment comes in. Wtf were the cartels thinking transferring so much dope in one shipment past a border patrol checkpoint with X-rays and shitloads of canines, and cameras that profile your face, ID you, and log how many times you go torward the border, over the border, and away from the border. They know who makes frequent trips not only over the border but through these checkpoints... So much shit you have to basically be retarded or connected to attempt to bring something let alone this quantity through one 8o. I sure as hell wouldn't bring a joint through one let alone 5 tons... I bet some cop that was supposed to let him go was takin a shit or something when he came through lol.

I only smoke hydro though so I'm pretty sure I don't have anything to worry about :D

That's nuts, but probably just a small dent. The Mexican Special (brick brown weed) will always be around.

In january there's some mids that are better than some of the beasters I've had. No BS like a whole oz of fresh weed that has 2-3 seeds with 10-12% THC I bet. This is only in the border states and only about 4 weeks of the year are they that good, however there's probably a good solid 6 months where the mids are nice and green. There's a good 4 weeks the "cream of the crop" comes in though..

That's quite a shipment coming away from the border... It looks pretty green too (for mexican dirt):(

I did a google search and they reported this story in Shanghai/China newspaper! Not every day 8 million in weed is seized...
 
I doubt most of that bud would of stayed in Texas anyways. So unless all you do is try to smoke brick weed than that isnt really gonna affect a whole lot of people because it would have been spread out all over the southern states most likely.

5 tons is a shitload... It's probably a couple days supply for the entire state...

There's no denying that this is a large amount of marijuana, but it seems like there's a large border bust every few months were they literally find tons of marijuana. Wasn't the record set earlier this year with 32 tons or something like that? It's going to effect supply in places, but it's only temporary and it's probably only certain areas.

It's hard to imagine how much weed is out there when you can hear about 10,000 pounds being seized and it only has a small, temporary effect.

Hey... What a waste of hemp. Hopefully they at least make it into paper or something...

I doubt my state will see much loss. If anything that 5 tons probably would have crunched quite a bit of the good'ole mom and pop local dealers.

This was already inside the US though :) Most of these scale busts are by CBP right at the border with all the K9's and X-rays. Bet this was an 18 wheeler full of broccoli with hidden 'broccoli' underneath. That's quite a bit of pot that already got accross the border somehow :? I find that incredible tbh. I've been through the border recently you can forget getting almost any scalable amount of contraband let alone 5 tons over the border without having a border guy working for you or something...K9's and X-rays are crazy tools man haha. pretty hard to get anything past them let alone this amount 8o
 
Haha, that's definitely not enough to dent supply, there's been no change in schwag supply in central tx. As far as quality goes, a lot of the shit coming from Mexico would pass as mids in most places. The schwag I most recently got was bricked as hell, light green with a lot of red hairs and no seeds, same old schwag prices. It varies, sometimes the stuff is terrible, brown and full of seeds, sometimes it's good mids. I can't really tell from the picture, but most of the stuff I've seen recently is a lighter green then that.
