(Reuters) - Drug-eradication efforts got a boost from Mother Nature in Florida, where a severe drought has stunted the illegal marijuana crop, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) says. Law enforcement agencies seized 39,219 marijuana plants worth $39.2 million from around the state in 2000, about 30 percent less than the previous year and the lowest number in 20 years. "If you think you're having trouble keeping your lawn alive, imagine trying to covertly water an entire marijuana plot," FDLE Agent Dave Broadway told the Orlando Sentinel Tuesday. "Mother Nature has played a big part in the scarcity of the domestic crop this year." Meteorologists said 2000 was the driest year on record in Florida, where most residents are under water-use restrictions, outdoor burning bans and wildfire alerts. Marijuana plants generally have short roots and need lots of water, Broadway said. -- www.thenutters.com ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
