In Miami, Florida, WFOR-TV Channel 4 reported last week:

• Nearly $9 million worth of marijuana won't make it to the streets of South Florida following a drug sweep in Miami-Dade County. Miami-Dade police teamed up with agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency for "Operation Growing Pains" which targeted dozens of suspected hydroponics labs.

• In total, the two agencies took down 36 so-called 'grow houses' and made 39 arrests. More than 1,500 plants were confiscated that equaled more than two-thousand pounds of pot. The street value of all that marijuana is nearly $9 million. Police also confiscated eight firearms, $23,000 in cash as well as other drugs including ecstasy and cocaine.
