Pot by post popular in Hawaii
About 80 percent of packages mailed from Hawaii contain marijuana. Federal investigators used drug sniffing dogs in a week long parcel post review, leading to search warrants and drug seizures. The crackdown targets Hawaii dealers as marijuana emerges as a major cash crop with $1.7 million in found drugs since last year. Eight postal workers were indicted in January for distribution during an undercover operation.
