NEW YORK — Police have seized approximately 2 million packets of synthetic marijuana with a combined street value of $10 million from a Bronx garage.

Authorities made the discovery around 5 p.m. Wednesday in a two-bay garage.

Police say the drugs, commonly referred to as K2 or spice, were found pre-packaged for sale in laundry bags.

WCBS-TV reports the raid was a continuation of a bust last week that led to the indictment of 10 manufacturers and distributors from across New York's five boroughs.

The use or sale of K2 isn't a crime in New York City, and manufacturing the drug is classified as a health-code violation.

AYTON — 

An Indian tribe’s plans to harvest and distribute medical marijuana in Ukiah was nipped in the bud this week when Mendocino County sheriff’s deputies seized hundreds of plants at two properties, officials said Wednesday.

Days after deputies investigating an activated burglar alarm found a group of people loading marijuana from the Pinoleville Pomo Nation tribal lands into a building about a mile away, investigators executed two search warrants and seized hundreds of plants.

To the courts, Aaron Bott is just a drug dealer. But to members of his cannabis dispensary, he was a connection to medicine.

“We were helping people,” Bott, who is currently facing trafficking charges, said.  

“Unfortunately, it seems like Alberta isn’t willing to listen, and is persecuting us as hard and fast as they can. They aren’t even looking at us helping people access their medicine or anything like that.”

Bott is president of the Mobile Access Compassionate Resources Organization Society (MACROS), Edmonton’s only compassion club. For the past 11 years, MACROS operated without issue until July, when Alberta’s Law Enforcement Response Team shut it down.

He and several members of his family were in court facing trafficking and cultivation charges.

How many wars can we fight?

Our presidential candidates demand "stronger action" against both illegal immigration and illegal drugs. But those goals conflict. The War on Drugs makes border enforcement much harder!

America's 44-year-long Drug War hasn't made a dent in American drug use or the supply of illegal drugs. If it had some positive effect, prices of drugs would have increased, but they haven't. American authorities say drugs are more available than ever.

Drug prohibition, like alcohol prohibition, creates fat profits that invite law-breaking.

Rep. Lieu says the price of pot will drop if his colleagues uproot a DEA program through his bipartisan bill.

With school back in session, many students across the country will file into classrooms to learn drug education or resistance training. But with shifting public perceptions and drug policy reforms in many states, drug education programs are entering a new landscape in which the punitive, zero-tolerance approach they once championed is increasingly being called into question.

While much of the media obsessed over 'pig gate', excerpts from Lord Ashcroft's upcoming book on David Cameron have once again put the spotlight on our Prime Minister's drug law hypocrisy, and his troubling rejection of his past beliefs on the need for reform.
