The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department executed a search warrant at a ranch in Hesperia, leading to the seizure of over 90,000 pounds of marijuana. This significant haul, worth an estimated $100 million, was discovered within a 120-by-40-foot metal building, where deputies found 3,000 black trash bags piled 12 feet high. It took two days and 51 truckloads to transport the seized marijuana, highlighting the extensive operation to recover illegally warehoused cannabis.
Authorities emphasized that while California allows residents to grow a limited number of cannabis plants for personal use, the scale of warehousing tens of thousands of pounds remains illegal. The sheer volume of the seized marijuana underscores ongoing challenges regarding compliance with cannabis regulations and the importance of enforcement to combat illicit operations that exploit legal loopholes.
