Why would they blowtorch it? Them there wouldn't be any evidence for the Federal indictment.

It's what they do with it. Storing hundreds of tons of weed plants isn't necessary if it's well documented.

Either way, you won't get it back and your investment is gone.
It's also a high risk business. You might invest millions on growing a crop only for the Federal administration to change policies in a few years and come in and blowtorch your crop.
