DEC destroys marijuana

On June 28, a Department of Environmental Conservation forester notified a DEC ranger about a marijuana grow on Hill Higher State Forest. The ranger returned to the site numerous times over the next couple of months, but was unable to locate the responsible party. On Sept. 7, the rangers destroyed 10 marijuana plants before they could be harvested. Although marijuana laws have changed in New York, it is still illegal to grow cannabis on State land. This investigation remains open. Pictured are the rangers with the find.

Starting at $3.50/week.
