The discovery was made Thursday when a truck driver was flagged for a secondary inspection at the Otay Mesa border crossing in California. During the inspection, a K-9 team alerted officers to the peppers, according to a press release from US Customs and Border Protection. The federal agency didn't say why the driver, a 37-year-old male Mexican citizen, was initially flagged for a secondary inspection.
Officials estimate the seized drugs are worth $2.3 million."I am proud of the officers for seizing this significant marijuana load," said Otay Mesa Port Director Rosa Hernandez in the press release. "Not only did they prevent the drugs from reaching our community, they also prevented millions of dollars of potential profit from making it into the hands of a transnational criminal organization.
What a waste
It’s legal in Canada, will take it!🇨🇦
That's some hot marijuana...lmao
War on drugs is stupid and has been destructive for everyone but the clowns getting tax money to fight it. The sooner it can be dismantled the better.
Watch out for those sacks of drugs being thrown over the wall though!
A 'wall' will NOT stop drugs from coming here. Donald, FOX News and Rush Limbaugh will tell their followers differently but it will simply be a blatant lie.
Why bother when the US has plenty of home-grown weed? And the street value appears to be highly over-estimated.
Shame on those Border Patrol Officers says the Dems.🙄
I bet lighting one of those dubbies up brought tears to your eyes. 😂
Please give whoever wrote this caption a raise

Gotcha DonnieJalapeno
peacelovinMimi Hmmm, so they weren't carrying it across the border?
Weed? Don't we produce enough on our own by now for it not to be worth 'importing?'
Why?! All the good weed is here. It should have been coke... 😳
Boy the calves on that Mexican must have been as big as the moon to carry 4 tons!! Oh wait, seems checkpoints WORK!!!!! Not stupid walls!!!
Stærke sager🌬
That weed was on fire
Weed is legal everywhere ..why you s this even a thing anymore in the US
Lol who is trying to import weed to the US? It’s already everywhere here.
4 tons of bunk ammonia weed out of the hick towns where Mexicans hide. Good work border patrol. We will prove that when it comes to weed growing: (in the U.S.A.) 'We can do it better'!
Maybe they were kicking it up a notch... RUDE!
It's time for all governments to end the myopic ineffective counter-productive hypocritical racist and failed War On Drugs. DrugPolicyOrg
Who smokes Mexican brick weed anymore anyway?
Weird, Trump get the Mexican National Guard to help with Border Security. Trump gets more funding for the wall and Border Security. WeBuildTheWall puts up their part off the wall. Then this happens. Something seems to be working.
Stealing my damn job. Just kidding. Weed is super cheap here. Like, $2-$3 per 1/8th oz. Too cheap to justify growing 😂
The jalapeños are more dangerous than the weed man. I say we burn it in the largest indoor stadium and sell tickets. Let the profits go to charity. Oh and fill the concessions with Cheetos, M&Ms and nachos.
Nobody smokes Bammer Weed from Mexico anymore!
Burn it all!
