Crazy

There is something crazy going on in the lower valley (ie Sunnyside). There has been over 100000 marijuana plants found on farms. According to the not so great reporting the area that is 100,000,000 dollars worth of marijuana. Let's just assume they haven't found all of the marijuana. Let's assume that they haven't even found 25% of it. That means that the Lower Valley is pumping out 300000000 dollars worth of Marijuana. In an area where the median household income is 27,000$. I am not really concerned about the Marijuana - I am just concerned about the gangs and the violence in the area. Doesn't that seem like a large amount. I am sure they are trying to do something - but what. There is a really good documentary to be made finding out about the drug trade in the lower valley. It reminds me of that dvd cocaine cowboys and what was going on if Florida in the 80's. But this is happening now and no one seems to be doing anything. It is wierd. This area is so wierd. Everyday is like the twilight zone.
