Marijuana dealers are killing people all the time.
Kentucky goes after 'Marijuana Belt' growers
A typical day will involve hitting 15 to 20 marijuana plots — most spotted by Holden or another pilot in a helicopter. They have learned to spot the tell-tale earthen trails and bluish-green of pot patches. They mark the GPS coordinates, then guide in ground forces to cut and burn the crop.
A display case in the squat concrete building where they've gathered is a reminder of the booby traps they might face: Pipe bombs with trip wires, fishing hooks strung face-high across trails, sharpened bamboo sticks, ankle-crushing bear traps; and boards pounded through with three-inch nails that are laid on the ground and covered with leaves.
"Some growers will take a poisonous snake and with monofilament wire, tie it to the plot," Shemelya says, leaving police to find "one (very mad) ****ed-off copperhead."

Booby-trapped Pot Field Fatal For 3 Walking Through
EVANSTON, KY. — Three men walking across a marijuana field were killed when they set off exploding booby traps, police said Friday. The bodies of brothers Lloyd and Luke Miller and Luther Vanderpool were discovered Friday morning, state Trooper Gilbert Acciardo said. The men apparently walked into a trip wire that triggered four separate explosions. Four plots containing a total of 55 marijuana plants were discovered nearby. The land, about 25 miles east of Jackson, is owned by a local coal company that Acciardo refused to identify. A member of the Miller family found the bodies after the family began a search when the two brothers didn't come home Thursday night. It was unknown what the three men were doing at the site.

This manual forcefully demonstrates the deadly lengths to which drug dealers will go to protect their illegal labs and fields. See how military mines, grenades, fire bombs, rockets and other explosive booby traps have been rigged along trails and behind doors to harm unwanted intruders.

But for many tens of thousands of ER visits marijuana is the only drug mentioned. And there’s even data suggesting that, as the authors of “Marijuana Legalization” put it, “marijuana can kill.” Between 1999 and 2007, the Centers for Disease Control, somewhat curiously, attributed 26 deaths to cannabis use—half in the subcategory “dependence.”

Kansas City man charged in pot dealer’s death
Jackson County prosecutors on Saturday accused a 24-year-old man of killing his marijuana dealer during a robbery in Kansas City last week after the dealer balked at lying on the floor.
“Are you kidding me?” Brandon J. Sloan reportedly said after the gunman’s demand to get down.
The robber filed a single shot into Sloan’s head and said, “Does it look like I’m playing?”

Since 2008 more than 7,000 people—over 1,000 last January alone, including Mexican civilians, journalists, police, and public officials—have been killed in clashes with warring drug traffickers. Wire-service reports estimate that Mexico’s drug lords employ over 100,000 soldiers—approximately as many as the Mexican army—and that the cartels’ wealth, intimidation, and influence extend to the highest echelons of law enforcement and government. Where do the cartels get their unprecedented wealth and power? By trafficking in illicit drugs—primarily marijuana—over the border into the United States.
