Officials say they seized $2.3 million worth of marijuana mixed in with a shipment of jalapeño peppers at a Southern California port.

A Customs and Border Protection K-9 unit alerted officers to a shipment of peppers Thursday at the Otay Mesa cargo facility in San Diego.

A CBP news release says officers discovered more than 7,500 pounds of marijuana in the peppers' pallets. Acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan congratulated the officers on Twitter and noted it was the second large seizure of marijuana there within days. Authorities seized more than 10,600 lbs of marijuana in a shipment of plastic auto parts at the port Tuesday.

Net that smelled yummy...

This sure looks like an Invasion to me. War means War, so let there be No Mercy for the Illegals, who Run Dope and whose kids KNOW who the Mex drug Dealers R in every community along the US side of the Border. MORE ICE RAIDS PLZ

Ruined 🌶🌶🌶

WTF ?!?!?!? Marijuana mixed w/ jalapeños....isn’t that called a Chimichanga Love Buzz that lingers ?!?!?!

People actually like it better spicy?

Port? Omg

That pot was smoking hot!!!🔥

Puff puff pass, holy shit that’s hot.

did they drive around the wall or...?

marijuana is legal now.

Governmentprofit strikes again

So.....what happened to all the peppers?!!!

Well, it’s good thing it wasn’t habañero peppers.

Both are hot.

AHHHH, yet another example that a WALL is not the issue!! This came through the Port Of Entry Invest in technology NOT A USELESS WALL!!!

Business coming from southern countries and China bring in drugs over and over killing the American people

Nooo! Not the jalapenos! Is nothing sacred to these people!

Realized it long back .. when T-shirt was noticed.

Who cares?!?!

Hemp is legal in California. You're all a bunch of fools.

Imagine smoking that and now your lungs are on fire.

What a waste of time.

Analyze it. If pure, sell it to the state and let them put it in the dispensaries. This is not major news. Like closing a chop shop.

Why on earth would we need any more lol

They should have at least made the packages red to match the peppers 🌶 camo

Fuck said officials. I wish them the worst.

“hot pot?”

🔥Hot pot heads🔥

If you're gonna take my herb, at least leave me all of my jalapenos.

Would have satisfied a million potheads

the cops will put it back on the streets so they can take more vacations an make there homes bigger because of greed to stay super rich

Spicy!

they were making Mexican chocolate made from using the peppers and extracted cannabis butter😋

Seize all of the contra band jalapenos peppers and keep them off the street and but don't waste the precious green herb and let it go where it is suppose to.

Why? There's probably a dispensery around the corner from there selling legal weed.

So hot!

That’s why we need walls, hahaha

Dumb. Next.

I guess you could say the load was a little too... hot to handle? 😁

We don't need a wall though. It's only drugs. Sure, it was pot this time. Next time it's Fentanyl or heroin.

With weed legal in California not sure the point of this but ok.

who’s putting all those black market jalapenos in those marijuana shipments?

Officials also say that everybody loves them too.....especially if they’re a democrat...... Hmmmmm

how is there even a market for this

I don't understand why it matters how much there is. If weed is legal in small amounts; why is a bigger pile of it somehow illegal.

The drug problem in this country is out of control

SpeakerPelosi is quite sad now..yes?

That's a lot of peppers 😬
