Will Legal Marijuana Be Growning At Warren County Farms?
Mar 8, 2010 Online Issue
New Jersey – Warren County is well known for its still-strong agricultural hertiage, where everything from corn and milk to turkeys and alpacas are grown/raised on local farms. Will we see the day where marijunana for medicinal purposes is added to ths list?
In the most recent weekly e-newsleter from the New Jersey Farm Bureau, the organization includes information that attempts to answer this question.
According to the newsletter: “New Jersey’s approval of the medicinal use of the drug marijuana has created some curiosity about its potential as a new crop. The news media has seized on this also, calling farmers to ask their opinion of this prospect. The reality of the situation, however, is that state authorities will be very restrictive in accessing this material. The Department of Health and Human Services will administer the program, employing only six ‘dispensaries’ statewide.”

Marijuana Could Be Farmers’ New Crop
Feb 28, 2010 Online Issue

Vineland — New Jersey farmers, including some in this area, see a chance to add an important new crop now that the 
state has legalized medical marijuana. “We would all like to grow it because we think it would be a good cash crop — literally,” Fairfield nurseryman Roger Ruske said.
The New Jersey Farm Bureau, a trade group for agriculture, has looked into the issue in depth and found good news and problems with the idea. New Jersey last month adopted a law allowing medical use of marijuana.
Farm Bureau research associate Ed Wengryn said the legislation isn’t written clearly enough for the state Department of Health and Senior Services to write regulations. “But I will say there are growers interested in it — but they’re interested in the concept,” Wengryn said.

Marijuana grow could be tied to homicide
Nov 15, 2009 Online Issue
A roughly 5,000- plant marijuana garden discovered earlier this year in the mountains above Santa Barbara could be connected to a homicide, the 
Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department said Thursday.
Sheriff’s narcotics detectives were investigating the disappearance of Jesus Omar Villa of Fresno when they discovered the marijuana garden, and several suspects allegedly operating and maintaining the grow, according to sheriff’s spokesman Drew Sugars.
Detectives have learned through unspecified means that Villa was helping maintain the pot farm when he died, and might have been the victim of a homicide.
Continued investigation resulted in the arrests of 17 people allegedly associated with a drug-trafficking organization, the seizure of $1 million worth of marijuana, cocaine valued at more than $100,000, 11 guns and $39,000 in cash, Sugars said.

Two huge marijuana grow ops busted in Chilliwack
Sep 14, 2009 Online Issue
The Chilliwack pot industry took a huge hit last week after police raided neighbouring marijuana grow ops.
Police were investigating a sophisticated underground bunker, raided the day prior, when they stumbled across an adjacent bumper crop on Thursday.
“This is certainly unique,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop said. “We don’t know yet if they are linked. They are linked in that they were beside each other but they were completely different styles.”
The high-tech, four-room underground bunker had been built underneath a Quonset hut on a property in the 7600-block Nixon Road in rural Chilliwack.
“There was a subfloor built on top of the hydraulic lift that provided access to the underground bunker,” Dunlop said. “If you didn’t know what you were looking for you wouldn’t find it.”
