Vanguard correspondent Adam Yamaguchi went deep inside a long, intense investigation into marijuana trafficking — but he didn't expect the contact high he got when Mexican authorities showed him their stash of seized drugs. 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. “Marijuana Wars Part 1” premieres Monday, November 22 at 9/8c on Current TV, and “Part 2” premieres Monday, November 29. “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. Unlike sound-bite driven reporting, the show's correspondents, Adam Yamaguchi, Kaj Larsen, Christof Putzel and Mariana van Zeller, serve as trusted guides who take viewers on in-depth real life adventures in pursuit of some of the world's most important stories.
