A very good example of how the United States of America should Regulate and Tax Marijuana. This seizure is one that did get caught. How many more loads of Marijuana came in to the USA thru it's Borders and did not get confiscated? 2 loads 5 loads 50 loads? it does not matter.
If one load of Marijuana makes it into the United States of America from Mexico, Canada, Thailand,& or Jamaica, the people consuming it in the United States should think twice about where their weed came from,and having an option to vote in the people who will help repeal and change the United States Marijuana Laws, so they can Grow, or Buy Marijuana grown in the United States of America.
This keeps the money in the United States. This will decrease the Mexican or Canadian weed that permiates the USA borders, that take away Revenue Dollars from the USA. Grow American
