According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, 3.68 million marijuana plants were seized on federal lands between January and November of 2009. Local law enforcement officials believe that most of this marijuana production is being run by Mexican drug cartels. These drug traffickers are increasingly turning to violence and have fired on law enforcement officers on a number of recent occasions. Their actions jeopardize the lives of our law enforcement officers and citizens using the land for recreation.
