A high-potency marijuana is on the streets, and law enforcement officials and one Illinois congressman want tougher drug penalties. Congressman Mark Kirk and Lake County law enforcement officials will be talking Monday about the powerful pot called "kush." They want tougher drug penalties because of it. The new variety of marijuana is stronger because the pot is cultivated hydroponically so growers control light, temperature and humidity to increase the drug content. Officials say the marijuana can sell for as much as $600 an ounce, making it as profitable as crack cocaine. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
