Mounties showed off the efforts of a massive drug seizure near Banff on Thursday.

In a news release, RCMP said a whopping 326 lbs. of cannabis was found by officers during a Jan. 26 traffic stop. That adds up to “enough to make over 440,000 average-sized joints.”

“The recent legalization of cannabis means that there are legal avenues to obtain and consume cannabis,” Cpl. Kyle Maetche said, adding that cannabis trafficking remains illegal.

WATCH: It’s been almost four months since cannabis legalization in Canada but we’re still seeing signs the black market isn’t going away. Gil Tucker has more on a big bust in the Rocky Mountains.
