Marijuana Seizures Down In Ohio

Seizures of marijuana during summer eradication efforts in Ohio were down this year.  The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration reports that authorities found more than 20,470 plants during the summer growing season in Ohio.  That’s a 76 percent decline from 2010, when authorities seized a record 84,660 plants in the annual effort.  Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz says it is the same in our area. He says pot growers are opting to raise their marijuana plants inside their home since it’s not easily detectable by helicopters.
