In order to get the story of Mexican drug trafficking organizations that grow marijuana in Northern California, Vanguard executive producer and correspondent Adam Yamaguchi had to be able to keep up with an elite task force. As a self-professed adrenaline junkie, he's used to extreme physical challenges being part of his investigations.
California has become one of the leading producers of marijuana in the world--most of it produced by Mexican drug trafficking organizations. And the proceeds from marijuana have become a cash cow for traffickers, generating greater profits than cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin combined. Vanguard's Adam Yamaguchi embeds with a task force working to take down Mexican drug trafficking organizations operating in the U.S.
"Marijuana Wars," a two-part episode, premieres November 22 at 9/8c on Current TV.
"Vanguard," airing weekly on Current TV Mondays at 9/8c, is a no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance.
