New York States Largest Indoor Grow Op Busted
and another one bites the dust. 6000lbs!
"The authorities said they were initially led to the operation after federal agents pulled over a car in the area that smelled of marijuana." once again, fucking rats bringing everybody else down. 3 Tons of Marijuana Seized in Sullivan County Raid By ANAHAD O’CONNOR Published: March 30, 2011 RECOMMEND SIGN IN TO E-MAIL REPRINTS SHARE Federal drug officials have helped break up an upstate drug ring and seized more than 6,000 pounds of marijuana worth nearly $20 million, they announced on Wednesday. The drug ring, based in Sullivan County, was distributing marijuana across the Northeast, including New York City. The authorities said the operation was spread across a number of homes in Mamakating, a town of 11,000 about an hour and a half from Manhattan. On Tuesday night, federal drug enforcement agents and Sullivan County Sheriff’s officers raided the homes, seized more than 6,300 marijuana plants and arrested 16 people, Preet Bharara, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in court documents. The federal Drug Enforcement Administration called it the largest breakup of an indoor marijuana-growing operation in New York’s history. “Hidden in houses located within the suburban communities of Sullivan County, these individuals were responsible for farming the most abused illicit drug in our nation,” John P. Gilbridge, Drug Enforcement Administration special agent in charge, said in a statement. The authorities said they were initially led to the operation after federal agents pulled over a car in the area that smelled of marijuana. Lawyers for the arrested people could not be immediately reached for comment Wednesday night. They were all detained without bail. If convicted, each faces a minimum sentence of 10 years, and a maximum of life in prison. https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/31/nyregion/31pot.html aod

It is fucking sick, but I chuckle when I see this and think my east coast friends can now get a little more or move a little easier. I'd prefer to see those 3 tons helping people, but at least the side effect is a greater demand for my friends.

A classic case why it's best to stay a small mom/pop operation instead of trying to become a fortune 500 company.
I'll guarantee a min of a dozen outta the 16 will cop to plea's and drop dimes on others. Wouldn't want to be a part of that circle. |

very little detail. i'm guessing this is your typical cop math. theres no way people growing in houses in NY would be able to produce 6000lbs, or have that processed on hand. my guess is this... they weighed all 6300 plants wet, roots and all. said it was 3 tons worth of pot. really it was more like 6500lbs of pot plants, not all flowering, none dried for consumption. normally stories will report on the amount of "packaged product" seized.

bullshit....6000lbs my ass. fuck lying ass cops. like tickle said i bet they weighed all the root stalks or something.
one important thing...this illustrates how ONE SIMPLE TRAFFIC STOP can bring down an entire criminal organization. they pull you over, find you with buds, then raid your house. important to make sure your DMV registered address is NOT YOUR GROW/STASH house.....i pay for private party background checks on myself to make sure my grow spot is not registered with my name and luckily it isnt....thank god for mom and dads house! in cali this wouldnt even put a dent in supply, but out there who knows. its already getting kinda dry around the country...even in the hot spots. its easy to find but not in your face down your throat like december.... |

Saw this on news, these were illegal mexican immigrants.
And of course they weigh the root ball and stems, you think they are going to trim the buds then weigh them lol, I think not... As I'd do the same throw the whole shitload on the scale. Gives for a bigger headline also. Anyways this won't put a dent in anything except for the low grade swag supply. |

I concur, obvious cop math. from the headline, i figured that they found a stash of west coast outdoor alongside some kind of indoor grow and they were moronically alleging that it had all been grown on site. but no. cop math.
