“More than 578,000 cannabis plants, worth over $1 billion, have been uprooted from forests and national parks in a major operation in the western United States, the Justice Department said. The two-month enforcement operation, which began July 1 in seven states — California, Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington — was led by the nation’s anti-drug and forest authorities. Fourteen people were arrested and charged in the Eastern District of California in connection with the illegal crops.”
