In another telling sign of how opponents of safe, legal, voter-approved medical marijuana are providing a business boon for the violent Mexican drug cartels, 19 tons of marijuana were seized off the coast of California near the border with Mexico Tuesday.

The United States Navy spotted two single engine 25 foot long boats about half a day apart on Saturday, 85 miles off the Mexican coast in international waters. They were seen dumping numerous plastic bags overboard before escaping.

Following United States Attorney Laura Duffey instigated crackdown on legal, safe, and regulated medical marijuana dispensaries, the market has re-opened for the illegal dangerous drug trade from Mexico. This is the third massive seizure of marijuana in as many months.

Opponents of medical marijuana have been behind major crackdowns of lab-tested and medical grade marijuana distribution centers. Makes you wonder what side they're on.
