TUCSON - Smugglers using a catapult to launch marijuana across the border were observed on a remote video surveillance system, and National Guard troops coordinated with Mexican authorities to disrupt the far-flung operation.
On Friday evening, National Guard troops operating a remote video surveillance system at the Naco Border Patrol Station observed several people south of the International Boundary Fence preparing a catapult and launching packages over the International Border fence, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Border Patrol agents working with the National Guard contacted Mexican authorities, who went to the location and disrupted the catapult operation. The camera showed the individuals fleeing the area before they could be intercepted by Mexican authorities.
The Mexican officials seized about 45 pounds of marijuana, a sport utility vehicle, and the catapult device.
"The Border Patrol's partnerships with Mexican authorities, the National Guard and the public enhance our efforts to address and disrupt the organized drug trafficking threat at the border and serves to degrade the capabilities of transnational criminal organizations," states Associate Chief Jose Cruz. "With their continued support and that of the public, we will continue to more effectively address threats before they cross the International Boundary." |

Drug dealers are tight-asses?

I've been saying this for years. Then it can be regulated and taxed.

That would be a bad idea, government weed is terrible enough as it is
just decriminalize it, let bygones be bygones and everyone can carry on with their lives.... now where are the munchies??

Let's assume it's a mixture of the two!

I say the government should take all the weed it's seized, soak it in ammonia or bleach or something, and then give it away.

^ Remember back right after 9/11 when the government was claiming Al-Qaeda was working with Colombian drug lords?
It always struck me as odd. If I was a hardcore Muslim fanatic disgusted with the decadent West, I would poison the drug supply, not help them sell more. That would be an awesome way to wage jihad on some drug-addled godless Americans.
