🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring John Nores and Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan Experience #1340 - John Nores explores Game Warden Turned Cartel Hunter Exposes America’s Hidden Environmental War Former California game warden John Nores explains how routine wildlife patrol work evolved into armed operations against Mexican cartel-run marijuana grows on U.S. public and private lands. He details discovering massive “trespass grows” that divert and poison waterways, kill wildlife, and increasingly involve heavily armed, tactically savvy growers. Over time, Nores helped build a specialized Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET) that conducts raids, arrests, and full environmental reclamation of sites, often supported by K9 units and helicopters. He argues that inconsistent cannabis laws, weak penalties, and underfunded wildlife agencies have allowed a national-scale black market to flourish, with serious public safety and environmental consequences.
