West Virginia on Track to Top 2011 Marijuana Eradication

The West Virginia State Police is on track to seize and destroy more marijuana plants than last year despite the dry weather that likely scorched some crops. Sgt. Mike Smith, head of the State Police marijuana eradication program, said he expects up to 200,000 marijuana plants state-wide to be seized and destroyed this year. That would top the 2011 total of 185,510 plants.
