Gil Kerlikowske, director of the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy, reaffirmed in Fresno, Calif., the Obama administration's efforts to shut down marijuana farming and said the US wouldn't support the legalization of marijuana.
"Legalization is not in the president's vocabulary, and it's not in mine," Kerlikowske told the Fresno Bee.
Marijuana is of particular interest in Fresno County, California, where it's big business. Raids over the past two weeks have netted marijuana plants worth upward of $1.26 billion and 82 arrests. Mexican drug cartels are involved in the marijuana farming, police said.
