  1. Accidental ? There sure are alot if people dying in that area. And for some reason answers are few. Maybe its time the national guard. Cleaned the place up. Obviously the sheriffs are unwilling. Or possibly unable to accomplish the task ? Organized. Crime still makes money from pot. They are growing it by the ton
