Interstate 94 Fast Becoming Smuggling Pipeline For Marijuana And Other Drugs

North Dakota, Minnesota And Wisconsin

It appears that I-94 is becoming a major smuggling pipeline for marijuana and other drugs.

Authorities think more people in North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin are buying marijuana where it’s legal and then bringing it back home to distribute.

Minnesota troopers seized more than 2,600 pounds of marijuana last year, more than six times what was confiscated the year before.

North Dakota troopers confiscated 300 pounds last year, an 88 percent increase from 2016.

Wisconsin troopers saw a 20 percent increase in drug arrests.

Recreational marijuana use remains illegal in all three states.
