Border busts up in the North

According to a report prepared jointly by government prohibition agencies in the US and Canada, border seizures of marijuana have increased by 259%. That sounds like a lot, but numbers are so deceiving. It still only constitutes 2% of the total amounts coming into the country. Interestingly this still makes Canada the number two importer of the herb, followed closely by Colombia and Jamaica. The actual report is available here.

Most of the imports still come through Mexico of course but they never seem to mention the cannabis grown right here in the US. Judging from the daily reports of grow-op busts around the country, it's got to be significant.
