Officials have been busy tearing out cannabis plantations in Siskiyou County. Last week the North State Marijuana Investigation Team raided a property in the Mount Shasta Vista Subdivision, destroying 903 growing marijuana plants and seizing 90 pounds of processed bud. Over the course of last year the team took out nearly 333,000 plants more than 54,000 pounds of processed bud. The sheriff’s office made 118 arrests and seized 34 guns. They also say 80% of the cultivation sites had dangerous illegal pesticides.
