HOUSTON, Texas. (KWCH/KHOU) The Drug Enforcement Agency is looking for a Houston-area contractor to burn a 1,000 pounds of marijuana.

KHOU reports the contractor must be able to incinerate various items like papers, cassette tapes, pharmaceuticals, and other incidental controlled substances. 

The contractor is also required to burn 1,000 pounds of bulk marijuana per hour, up to eight hours a day. Workers associated with the incineration will be subject to a background check and drug testing.

Incinerator facility must have closed circuit cameras, which shall at least cover the weighing station and the entire incinerator equipment from the feeder to the ash removal station. The Incinerator facility must have a fence tall enough to prevent the public from viewing the incineration process.

The contact runs from March to Sept. 30, and the work will be required from facilities in Houston, Galveston, Beaumont, McAllen, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Laredo, Eagle Pass, Del Rio, San Antonio, Austin and Waco.

The DEA says they will provide armed agents and contractors, who are authorized by the DEA, during scheduled burns.

  1. Why make millions of dollars legalizing marijuana and selling it using govt. agencies to whoever (esp. for health reasons) or taxing it, when you can simply burn it wasting millions of dollars on salaries and facilities? But if Abbott (and Costello) can force folks getting hurricane aid by signing a “loyalty oath” to Israel…. Only in Texas–which will legalize marijuana when pigs fly and likely will never legalize it anyway–and likely will be the only state that won’t. (why make money on it when you can make money on forcing folks to give up their First Article rights?)

  2. Koyote you can help me smoke it then burn it looking the other way , , I didn’t see the big trash bag head was turned wink wink is this how the pro that work for the government do it
