Drugs Inc.: Marijuana Mayhem

SINOPSIS

Stick-up crews; interstate traffickers; street corner slingers: the hallmarks of the hardcore drug trade also apply to a 'soft' drug: Marijuana. In California, Chico and Red rob pharmacies of 'sour diesel' - a potent strain developed for medical use. Sgt. Quenell of Humboldt County Sheriff's Department discovers a sophisticated illegal grow, one of the many illegal plantations that dot Northern California. White Widow - a legitimate grower - reveals how some of her fellow farmers sell off surplus product, no questions asked. The ultimate destination for much of this marijuana is New York City - into the hands of dealers like like T-Man and Rocky - a former crack dealer. In NYC the price for 'sour' is high: $4,000 a pound. And sour diesel isn't even the strongest pot product on the block, thanks to some dangerous chemistry. Weed 'cooks' like Shatterman blast the pot with butane. The result: a huge increase in potency. 'Shatter' is already popular among weed connoisseurs on the West Coast. If it hits big NYC, the impact on the trade is anyone's guess.
