Boat loaded with marijuana washes ashore off San Diego
An 18-foot boat loaded with marijuana has washed into rocks along the shore in San Diego’s Sunset Cliffs area.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Lauren Mack says the boat was already abandoned when authorities responding to a distress call found it Monday morning.
Mack says the damaged craft capsized and sank before it could be hoisted off the rocks.
And in related news, scuba shops in the Southern California area are reporting a massive increase in sales to stoners looking to take up scuba diving. 
But seriously, once again you can see the great lengths people will go to in a prohibitionist world to get their marijuana. Boats, trains, trucks, buses, even submarines are being used to bring drugs into America. Let us grow our own and we’ll never have to waste another Coast Guard minute responding to shipwrecked ganja boats.

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
