Ridgeland police confiscated dozens of pounds of a new type of potent Canadian marijuana during a traffic stop Friday that may be worth nearly half a million dollars.Two members of the department's new Interstate Criminal Enforcement team stopped a car at about 1 p.m. for following another vehicle too closely. During the traffic stop, on southbound Interstate 95, they allegedly found marijuana in sealed plastic bags tucked in a suitcase in the trunk.
The amount was estimated at 60 to 100 pounds, said Investigator Chris Stevers.The marijuana is believed to be "B.C. bud," a new type of pot out of British Columbia, Canada, that is five times more potent than normal marijuana, Stevers said.Its estimated street value is about $5,000 per pound, he said.The driver, a Canadian man, was arrested but additional details were not available Friday.The Interstate Criminal Enforcement team is part of a new initiative partly funded through a federal grant, aimed at catching drug shipments on I-95.Newshawk: Steve Kubby - http://www.kubby.org/Source: Carolina Morning News (SC)Published: Saturday, September 6, 2003Copyright: 2003 Carolina Morning NewsContact: cmn lowcountrynow.comWebsite: http://www.lowcountrynow.com/Cannabis News - Canada Archiveshttp://cannabisnews.com/news/list/Canada.shtml
