<br/><br/> "Beside an abandoned camp scattered with trash and human waste, lie empty bags of fertilizer, gardening tools, irrigation tubing--and spent rifle casings. Illegal marijuana farming, once the province of small-time growers, has become big business on the nation's most visited public lands: national parks." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article examines illegal marijuana cultivation in U.S. national parks, noting that it is considered to be the "biggest threat to national parks since their creation over a century ago."
