FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Federal, state and local law
enforcement agencies confiscated more than $1.5 billion worth of
marijuana this year in Appalachia, a region where widespread
unemployment may be enticing some people to grow pot to support their
families.
Ed Shemelya, head of marijuana eradication in the Appalachian High
Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, said aerial spotters guided ground
crews to more than 750,000 plants during the 2012 growing season in the
mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia.
Shemelya said nearly 430,000 of the marijuana plants were found in
Kentucky. Preliminary figures showed more than 192,000 plants
confiscated in West Virginia and more than 147,000 in Tennessee.
The
Appalachian region, a haven for moonshiners during Prohibition, has a
near-perfect climate for marijuana cultivation, plus remote forests that
help growers camouflage their crops.
