El Paso is getting a lot of refugees. Those who can afford to leave Cd. Juarez, or who have relatives here they can stay with, have. I sit on my balcony and watch the helicopters patrol at night.

And just this week our local pd has raided and arrested four very small home pot growers. Like -- 2 plants to 2 lbs. This does not make sense to me. (shakes head)

So, it's not so much a war on drugs as it is a bully on drugs.

What I want to know is, how did the police KNOW there were two pot plants in that apartment? It doesn't sound like a high tech operation to me...

that was my first question, too.

After discussion with my cow orkers, the consensus is "kids." Or it could be a roofer, or meter guy, or . . . or None of those operations looks really big enough to throw a red flag up for utility use I don't think.

If they get a report, they have to act on it, I guess.

Heh...yeah.

Police reports: Hey, we had 400 drug busts last month. Chico was smoking a j in an alley. Barb and Fred had 1/32nd oz of smoke. Mark took a hit from a bong at a party. We are nipping it IN THE BUD!

Actually, the newspaper is full of news about pot busts crossing the border. At least once a week, there is a major bust for cocaine or pot. The newest thing is to recruit kids to stash a brick or two in their schoolbags and get them to bring it across the border, on the theory that CBP officers won't look too closely at kids, penalties are less for children and that the kids are easier to corrupt.
