By my estimate 500,000 200 !bs Sized divided by 730 days is $684 a day. Plus the street value of the flower is at best 1000 !b for an additional 200k but that’s not cash. That’s the offset. Was this really worth taxpayers dollars to get these hardened criminals off the street? 4 counties and the DEA. If you took one salary from each...over 2 years was it worth it? Change is NEEDED NOW!!

Six people were arrested as part of the takedown of a massive Mary Jane-selling network that spanned four counties of the Garden State, authorities announced Monday.

The two-year investigation started in December 2023 when detectives looked into the illegal sale of flowers in Bergen County, according to a statement from the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.

As the lengthy investigation continued, the office learned that the scale of the criminal network reached beyond their jurisdiction and included Essex, Passaic and Morris counties, officials said. Prosecutors in those counties then joined with the DEA in the investigation.

On Nov. 19, detectives from multiple agencies executed search warrants at the homes of multiple alleged conspirators and other properties related to the investigation, the office said.

Investigators seized more than $500,000, more than 200 !bs of Mary Jane , various items of dug paraphernalia, and hundreds of additional gardening products packaged for distribution, authorities said.

VIDEO: NDLEA Uncovers Drugs Hidden In Flight Boarding Passes

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has warned parents and guardians after operatives uncovered a new method used by drug traffickers to distribute illicit substances.

The alert was raised on Sunday by the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, in a statement posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

According to the NDLEA, drug traffickers are now using what appear to be ordinary flight boarding passes to conceal and transport dangerous drugs, including a substance known as “Colos.”

The agency called on parents, guardians, and the public to remain vigilant, especially regarding deliveries from dispatch riders, as these seemingly innocuous packages could be carrying harmful drugs.

He wrote, “These may appear as ordinary flight boarding pass but neatly concealed in them are dangerous substances such as Colos.

“This is one of the new methods of distributing illicit drugs in cities as uncovered by
operatives in Lagos.

“This is another wake up call to parents and guardians to pay attention to what dispatch riders are delivering to their children and wards.

“The merchants of death are getting more disingenuous with their packaging but is surely steps ahead of them.”

Meanwhile in the UK

🇬🇧📢

A legal medical 🍃 patient in the UK should never have their prescription confiscated. But it’s still happening not because patients are doing anything wrong, but because police forces have not been properly educated on current medical 🍃 laws.

Medical 🍃 has been legal in the UK since 2018.
Patients exist,prescriptions exist and lives are being changed!

But the system has not caught up , slowly but surely

A new pilot study now confirms what patients have experienced for years:

POLICE DON’T UNDERSTAND MEDICINAL FLOWER LAWS ‼️

A recent study revealed major gaps in UK police understanding of medicinal flower laws even seven years after legalisation.

Key findings:

• 88% of trainee officers knew little or nothing about prescribed medicinal flower before training.
• This lack of knowledge creates avoidable risks for legal patients.

Researchers warn that UK police urgently need proper training.

Training must apply to all officers not only new recruits.

⚠️A crucial truth every patient must know ⚠️

Your medication is only legally protected when vaped.

Smoking your prescription voids your legal rights and can be treated as illegal possession.

Until laws evolve, patients must protect themselves 🍃

When travelling with your medicine always keep it in the original packaging and keep your prescription clinic papers ready to present if stopped ⚠️

It’s time to educate our police forces nationwide 🇬🇧

It’s time to train frontline officers on medical 🍃 law.

It’s time to protect the patients these laws were meant to serve.
