Associated Press - Sat 08:40 AM 09/29/2012
Authorities estimate the street value of the marijuana at $1.5 million.
Police in northeastern Kansas say they've seized about 2,700 pounds of marijuana from a vacant landscaping company warehouse in a Johnson County industrial park.
The seizure Friday morning by Lenexa police follows a recent investigation and arrest by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration in Indianapolis, plus an arrest in the Kansas City area.
Lenexa police say undercover officers investigated the warehouse for the past week and found hundreds of boxes of plastic cups. Police say each box contained two bundles of marijuana hidden behind plastic cup sleeves.
Authorities estimate the street value of the marijuana at $1.5 million. Police said details of the arrests would be released later, and more arrests are expected.

If there was not a huge demand for this product, then there is no reason for a huge supply.

The alcoholics got us here and will spend us into bankruptcy long before the pothead generation come to power.

Evidently a drug user and dealer. They are the only ones who compare alcohol to drug usage. Alcohol is legal drugs are not.

Only because prohibition of alcohol was during a time when there was no way of really enforcing it and the government was smart enough to see that and repeal it. Alcohol is a drug. Making it legal doesn't declassify it as one.
