The state Department of Justice, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and other agencies announced Wednesday that they have seized 5.2 million marijuana plants. Most of those were on public land.

John Gaines, chief of California's Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, says more than half the nation's domestically produced marijuana is grown in California.
