加州2026年查获非法大麻139,293磅、价值逾2.3亿美元：纽森公布统一执法专班成绩
加州州长 Gavin Newsom（纽森）10月29日在 Sacramento 宣布，加州执法部门2026年以来已查获并销毁139,293磅非法大麻，估值超过2.3亿美元；截至9月，执法行动共铲除236,846株大麻植株。这组数字来自州长办公室当天发布的加州统一大麻执法专班（Unified Cannabis Enforcement Task Force，UCETF）执法通报。
州长办公室说，UCETF专门打击威胁公共安全、破坏加州自然资源并损害合法大麻产业的非法经营。自纽森2022年设立该专班、加强州、地方与联邦机构协作以来，累计执法成果包括：查获或销毁的非法大麻估值超过14.7亿美元，共896,514磅，铲除植株1,441,826株。
纽森说：「加州正在采取行动，打击那些让社区面临风险、破坏环境并损害守法企业的非法大麻经营。通过州与地方政府之间的强有力协作，我们正在瓦解这些经营、保护加州居民。」
2026年第三季度（7月至9月），UCETF协调的执法行动查获或销毁非法大麻55,308磅，铲除植株108,226株，从市场移除的非法大麻估值超过9,100万美元；行动共逮捕14人，缴获枪支9支、现金29,215美元，执法范围覆盖9个县。
第三季度的行动中查出多类与大型非法种植相关的威胁，包括涉嫌有组织犯罪活动、非法取水、危险农药、用电盗窃、电路私接与严重火灾隐患；一次调查还发现了潜在劳动剥削的迹象。
在 Alameda County，执法人员在 Hayward 与 Oakland 的室内种植点查获非法大麻19,300多磅、铲除植株38,500多株，调查人员发现涉嫌与更广泛有组织犯罪网络相连的线索，以及用电盗窃、电气隐患与未登记农药。在 Los Angeles County，Lancaster 一带为期三天的行动查获非法大麻约16,760磅、铲除植株33,000多株，并缴获枪支与甲基苯丙胺，记录到影响敏感沙漠栖息地的环境问题。
在 Mendocino County，多次协调行动查获或销毁非法大麻4,400多磅、铲除植株近7,000株，调查人员记录到非法取水等影响敏感流域与栖息地的环境违规。在 Butte County，Lake Oroville State Recreation Area 附近的一次多机构行动查获或销毁非法大麻近2,700磅、铲除植株5,300多株并逮捕6人，同样发现非法取水、电路私接与其他环境与公共安全问题。
加州鱼类与野生动物厅（CDFW）厅长 Meghan Hertel 说：「大型非法大麻经营对我们的社区天然不安全，对加州的生态系统也极具破坏性。UCETF提供重要资源、加强伙伴间协作，并强化我们共同的承诺：持续瓦解这些非法活动，同时保护加州居民与本州独特的自然资源。」
加州大麻管制局（DCC）局长 Clint Kellum 说：「加州的非法大麻是一个复杂问题，但我们不会停止对它采取执法行动。我们将始终致力于铲除非法大麻，因为这为合法大麻市场的发展让路，也有助于确保加州居民能获得安全、可信的产品。」
州长办公室介绍，UCETF由加州大麻管制局（DCC）与加州鱼类与野生动物厅（CDFW）共同主持，由州长紧急服务办公室协调。专班汇集在执法、大麻监管、环境保护、税收、劳动标准、应急响应与公共安全方面有专长的州与地方机构，除非法种植本身外，也调查环境破坏、不安全电气系统、非法用水、潜在逃税与劳动剥削等关联违规。州长办公室表示，加州将继续与伙伴协作，瓦解非法大麻经营，保护社区与自然资源，并支持按州规则经营的合法大麻市场。
California Seizes 139,293 Pounds of Illicit Cannabis Worth Over $230 Million in 2026, Newsom Announces
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced in Sacramento on October 29 that state authorities have seized or destroyed 139,293 pounds of illicit cannabis valued at more than $230 million so far in 2026, and that enforcement through September 2026 had also eradicated 236,846 cannabis plants. The figures came in a Governor's Office release on the Unified Cannabis Enforcement Task Force (UCETF).
The Governor's Office said the UCETF targets illegal operations that threaten public safety, damage California's natural resources and undermine the state's regulated cannabis industry. Since Governor Newsom established the task force in 2022 to strengthen coordination among state, local and federal agencies, enforcement has resulted in more than $1.47 billion in estimated illicit cannabis seized or destroyed, totaling 896,514 pounds, and 1,441,826 cannabis plants eradicated.
"California is taking action against the illegal cannabis operations that put our communities at risk, damage our environment and undermine businesses that play by the rules," Governor Newsom said. "Through strong partnerships across state and local government, we're disrupting these operations and protecting Californians."
In the third quarter of 2026, from July through September, UCETF-coordinated operations seized or destroyed 55,308 pounds of illicit cannabis, eradicated 108,226 plants and removed more than $91 million in estimated illicit cannabis from the market, with 14 arrests, nine firearms confiscated and $29,215 in cash seized, across nine counties.
Third-quarter operations uncovered threats associated with large-scale illegal cultivation, including suspected organized criminal activity, illegal water diversions, hazardous pesticides, utility theft, electrical bypasses and serious fire hazards, and investigators identified indicators of potential labor exploitation during one investigation.
In Alameda County, authorities seized more than 19,300 pounds of illicit cannabis and eradicated more than 38,500 plants at indoor cultivation sites in Hayward and Oakland, identifying suspected connections to broader organized criminal networks along with utility theft, electrical hazards and unregistered pesticides. In Los Angeles County, a three-day operation in the Lancaster area seized approximately 16,760 pounds and eradicated more than 33,000 plants, and investigators recovered firearms and methamphetamine and documented environmental concerns affecting sensitive desert habitat.
In Mendocino County, coordinated operations seized or destroyed more than 4,400 pounds and eradicated nearly 7,000 plants, with illegal water diversions and other environmental violations affecting sensitive watersheds and habitat. In Butte County, a multiagency operation near the Lake Oroville State Recreation Area seized or destroyed nearly 2,700 pounds, eradicated more than 5,300 plants and made six arrests, identifying illegal water diversion, electrical bypasses and other environmental and public-safety concerns.
"Large-scale illegal cannabis operations are inherently unsafe for our communities and can be incredibly damaging to California's ecosystems — our natural legacy," said California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Director Meghan Hertel. "UCETF provides vital resources, strengthens coordination among partners and reinforces our shared commitment to California's ongoing work to dismantle these illegal activities while protecting Californians and the state's unique natural resources."
"Illicit cannabis in California is a complex problem, but one that we will not stop taking enforcement action against," said California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) Director Clint Kellum. "We will always fight to eradicate illegal cannabis because it makes way for the legal cannabis market to thrive and helps ensure Californians have access to safe, trusted product."
The task force is co-chaired by the DCC and CDFW and coordinated by the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, bringing together state and local agencies with expertise in law enforcement, cannabis regulation, environmental protection, taxation, labor standards, emergency response and public safety. The Governor's Office said California will continue working with its partners to disrupt illegal cannabis operations, protect communities and natural resources, and support a legal cannabis market that operates under the state's rules.
