CAMP LogoCAMPAIGN AGAINST MARIJUANA PLANTING

Created in 1983, the Campaign Against Marijuana Planting (CAMP) is a unique multi-agency law enforcement task force managed by the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement and composed of local, state and federal agencies organized expressly to eradicate illegal marijuana cultivation and trafficking in California. With more than 110 agencies having participated, CAMP is the largest law enforcement task force in the United States.

CAMP's primary objectives include reducing the supply of marijuana to the illegal drug trade by eradicating the large marijuana crop sites; increasing public and environmental safety by removing marijuana growers from public and private lands; investigating indoor growing operations; deterring potential growers; and promoting public information and education on marijuana.

The 2002 CAMP season was the twentieth consecutive year of operation and the most successful in the history of the program. More marijuana was eradicated during the eight-and-one-half week season than in any previous year.

     CAMP achieved the following:

354,164 Plants Eradicated

$1.4 Billion Dollar Wholesale Value

70 Agencies Participated

Mexican national drug organizations accounted for 74% of the marijuana seized by CAMP in 2002.
