On Wednesday, the California Department of Cannabis recently held an operation in Brentwood and Discovery Bay resulting.
Although the locations of the homes were not provided, both homes were owned by the same person— linked to Chinese nationals. Inside the home, authorities provided the following data from what was found:
Brentwood:
- 387.26 pounds of shake
Discovery Bay:
- 25.92 pounds of flower valued at $42,768.
- 394 plants valued at $325,050
- $1,484 in cash
The Department of Cannabis said the home in Brentwood was red tagged while the Discovery Bay home was not. It was stated that the Discovery Bay home bypassed the meter and PG&E responded to the home–its unclear if PG&E is pressing charges.
On December 16, the California’s cannabis task force seizes over $19 million in illegal cannabis and products in recent operations in Oakland and Hayward. Illegal products seized in the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW)-led operation in Oakland included:
- Over 7,000 illegal cannabis plants worth $6.1 million
- Over 1,200 pounds of processed cannabis flower worth $2 million
- 581 pounds of concentrated cannabis worth $4.4 million
- 6,250 disposable vape cartridges worth over $41,000
In 2022, Governor Newsom created the UCETF to further align state efforts and increase cannabis enforcement coordination between state, local, and federal partners. The enforcement actions protect consumer and public safety, safeguard the environment, and deprive illegal cannabis operators and transnational criminal organizations of illicit revenue that harms consumers and undercuts the regulated cannabis market in California.

Wow…Brentwood seems to have a lot of grow houses. I’m sure they will blame it on Antioch.
