A large drug bust in Southern Arizona is making headlines this week. Border authorities found almost a million dollars worth of marijuana on a produce truck trying to enter the US from Mexico. Nearly 2000 pounds of the drug was uncovered after drug sniffing dogs alerted border officials. The narcotics were hidden in amongst squash. Drug arrests are not uncommon in Southern Arizona, since Arizona is one of the main entry ways into the country from Mexico. Such a large discovery of drugs does not happen every day but there are plenty of arrests made for marijuana possession, paraphernalia, and marijuana trafficking in this part of the country ranging from small amounts to large.
Even with a small amount of marijuana, Arizona courts are extremely tough when it comes to these charges and the consequences can be severe. If you do not possess a valid medical marijuana card, it is still illegal to possess any amount of marijuana or paraphernalia.
