California police busted a multimillion-dollar weed 'fortress'

Police in Southern California raided a weed "fortress" on Wednesday, seizing 35,000 marijuana plants and shutting down an operation they believe was bringing in millions of dollars a month. Inside the four-story warehouse, police found thousands of plants stacked next to one another under heat lamps on wood tables and an advanced irrigation system. Police and federal investigators raided three properties owned by the same woman and seized 18,000 pounds (8,164 kilograms) of marijuana in total.
