3000 plants were found in the Willamette national Forest near Westfir making it one of the biggest marijuana busts it over 15 years estimating to be worth over $30 million.
16 people were arrested and lodged in Lane County Jail on federal drug charges.
"We determined that there were several thousand plants in three separate areas and today we went in and removed all of the marijuana from all three ends," said Sergeant Steve French Lane County Sheriff's office spokesman.Which is a federal crime, not a misdemeanor which really doesn't mean anything anymore.
..."Multiple suspects have multiple deportations from the United States back to Mexico,” French said."
The sheriff office is trying to figure out if these people have ties to the Mexican drug cartels.

There are times when I wonder about whether or not the laws, guided by our policies, are appropriate.
How are we doing on this illegal immigration thing?
