Your Tax dollars hard at work 😜

deep state dirty money

Are they sure it's not hemp?

There are illegal drugs in Oregon?

EVERYONE smokes week or takes edibles, how about we worry about Meth and heroine instead.

Just like other items the gov should sell these seized items back lol. At least it’s not wasted 😂😶‍🌫️

Seized for them to smoke up you can be certain!

You have states and cities where it is legal to grow as long as you pay taxes and keep up with who is buying. The government doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the weed itself. They only care about the money generated. Same thing about casinos.

Why do people smoke that crap? It kills brain cells and makes everyone delusional.

The ACTUAL headline should be about how the owners of these sites were mistreating and abusing migrant workers, as well as redirecting water from water sources during a drought.

500 million dollars they could make tax money off of to pay for this spending they are doing

Super

Welcome to the Biden Administration that encourages open border policy.

Since US is the biggest drug consumer all over the world, no new wonder!!!

With marijuana legal in most states, I thought their marijuana market would be null and void.

Insane that this still happens.

No wonder drought in west coast

Hey, police in Oregon! Puff, puff, pass. C'mon

They wouldn’t have to waste time doing these raids if it were federally legal. Think if all the tax dollars, employee income and so on

Cannabis is legal in OR & CA. Illegal grows are environmentally devastating. They over-use illegal pesticides and fungicides, steal scarce water during a severe drought drying up springs, they trash the land and bring crime.

Your tweet was quoted in an article by dailycaller

why is weed in any amount even illegal anymore? oh, yeah, the govt did not get its cut! if there is a demand, there will always be supply, outlaw it all you want ... and how many 1,000s of tons do they don't know about? ... a 'relaxed' citizenry is a calm citizenry!!

250 tons? Stored in what? An aircraft hangar?

Total bullshit ongoing war on a plant.

Does it taste different? Smell different? If you packaged and resold it, would a person know the difference?

FUCK MY STASH😬

White City is not near the California border.

Portland needs that kind of marijuana to live there.

Marijuana ...rolls eyes...

I’m, weed is legal here.

NO ONE paid a dime toward the state grow fee$. No one filed the right paperwork. This can't be used because no one wants to te$t it, and no one knows what was used on the plants during the grow. Hence...illegal. Pic from

lol, neat

When I read this it sounds like, 'Police seized 250 tons of illegal books'.

Ahhhhhh, so that's why!

If they've still got 'illegal marijuana', they're doing it wrong.

The smell alone would have gotten me high!! 😂😂😂😂

They just gonna sell it 🤣

It wasn't mine 🤫

250 tons of weed could relax a lot of very tense people in that state.

Guess that city is only zoned for cocaine production.

I used to live in White City for a time. Fucking wild lol

Great job seizing those plants 🙄

Would have been nice if you explained how this was illegal in a state where cannabis is legal

---Caution Tape--- Nothing to see here. Just a Democrat Saturday night. ---Caution Tape---

They couldn't make it over the border to Weed?

State going after the real criminals 🙄

Oregon police destroyed another family business

IT SHOULD BE LEGAL!!!

Oh thank god. That could have been dangerous 🤡 🤡 🤡
