U.S. border officials seize record 15 tons of pot at California border

LOS ANGELES

U.S. customs officers at a California border crossing seized more than 15 tons of marijuana hidden inside a tractor-trailer shipment designated as a cargo of mattresses, the biggest narcotics bust ever at that port of entry, officials said on Friday.

Plastic-wrapped packages of marijuana, with a street value estimated at nearly $19 million, were found stacked floor to ceiling inside a trailer at the Otay Mesa cargo port in San Diego on Thursday, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency.

There's only one word for the number of pounds of marijuana There's only one word for the number of pounds of marijuana seized by the U.S. Border Patrol and at U.S. ports of entry: high.

It's no secret that pot is the most widely used illegal drug in the United States, with 48 percent of Americans in a recent Pew Research Center survey saying they've tried the drug. So it didn’t come as much of a surprise when The Center for Investigative Reporting found that cannabis was the most-seized drug along the U.S.-Mexico border – more than meth, heroin and cocainecombined.
The total collected from 2005 to 2011? More than 17 million pounds.
