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,

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.

Well, I can give you the Dutch prices to have some idea...
Around here you can easily get weed for something like 3 to 5 euros a gram (4 to 7 dollars).

Also we Dutchmen put much more weed in our joints than you American woosies
