CRIME FINDS HOME ON U.S.-CANADA BORDER

BLAINE, Wash. - With official attention in Washington riveted on the U.S.-Mexican border, crime along the USA’s undefended border with Canada is climbing to levels surpassing the rum-running days of Prohibition.

For 18 months, shipments of the $7,000-a-pound British Columbia marijuana known as "B.C. Bud" have been deluging the West Coast. The popular drug is so potent that dealers trade it pound for pound for cocaine, U.S. Border Patrol agents say. One means of transporting B.C. Bud: sea kayak.
