The busts came a few days after customs agents in Buffalo nailed a Canadian man allegedly trying to smuggle 200 pounds of hydroponic marijuana into the United States.

The suspect, an Indian citizen with resident status in Canada, showed border agents paperwork stating he was delivering plastic watering cans to Colorado.

The weed is worth about $600,000 on the street, according to officials.

The driver, 28, turned out to be part of the Free and Secure Trade program, designed to speed border crossings for companies with frequent trans-North American business.
