Authorities discover 30 tons of marijuana, border tunnel.
 
Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- U.S. authorities have discovered 30 tons of marijuana that were part of a smuggling operation using a tunnel under the California-Mexico border, officials said Wednesday.

The 600-yard tunnel -- which features a rail system, lighting and ventilation -- connects a warehouse in Tijuana with one in the Otay Mesa industrial area of San Diego..

Some engaged in much other things than banal polls, some want a real nice finish to the year, as long as they do not get caught, :D

Well, drugs have always been considered part of the underground culture.

It also brings new meaning to the old term "Underground Railroad".

If California had passed pot legalization I wonder if it would have made a difference on the street price of that 30 tons.

We need to invest in more seismic sensors for the borders. :yep:

That's 960,000 ounces! or 27,215,542 grams. Assuming short ton.

Assuming the "average" joint being about 0.5 to 0.75 grams that makes this one haul equal to 36.2 to 54.4 million "average" joints.

With MJ running anywhere between $5.00 and $15.00 per gram (East Coast) depending on the source and the strength this one haul is equal to about

$136,000,000 to $408,000,000 Take the average and that is almost a third of a BILLION dollars! This one shipment. :yep:

Smuggling MJ is still big business. :yep:
