From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Police are seizing a lot more marijuana this year," by Daphne Duret--
Police in Missouri say they've seized enough marijuana to roll about 26 million joints so far this year, a signal that the drug is thriving in the Midwest.
From January to mid-March, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration confiscated more than 29,000 pounds, either seized from traffickers in Missouri or found growing in the state.
With a street value between $30 million and $43.5 million, the haul is almost 3,000 pounds more than authorities have seized in any of the past five years. The largest among those was 2001, with 26,494 pounds.
