The United States Coast Guard and border patrol agents recovered nearly 8,000 pounds of marijuana Sunday evening off the coast of Dana Point, California.

According to CBS Los Angeles, the units used several boats to pick up the shockingly high volume of marijuana in the Pacific Ocean, which is street valued at $3.6 million.

“The boat itself, I mean, it had probably a hundred bales of all, wrapped in a garbage bag,” witness Andrew Charleston said. “The guys, when they were picking it up, were taking it place to place. It was huge. There was a lot of weight in there.”
