This question has bugged me for years, and tonight I appear to have received an answer. Here is the link:

And the relevant excerpt from the link:

High Times readers may recollect a more obscure tale, published in these pages a year ago.

''The story was entitled "The Sinsemilla Snitches" and recounted the exploits of a nefarious free-lance drug informant named Mark Caven. Caven, you remember, set up a phony employment agency in The Dalles and advertised high-paying jobs for those who could qualify. Most employment in the area is seasonal, and this was the off-season, so his office was soon flooded with eager applicants. In confidential interviews, secretly taped, Caven made it clear to would-be workers that their chances for employment would be much improved if they could find him some good local pot. When Caven's victims managed to scrounge up a little weed, they were busted and offered clemency if they would turn over their suppliers.''

''All of this, naturally, was done in cooperation with the Wasco County Sheriff's Department and the district attorney's office. It seemed a dandy little investigative strategy, until the whole slimy affair was made public, the cases were thrown our of court and citizens' lawsuits began piling up against the prosecutors and the constabulary. All in all, one nasty little scandal.''

FYI, The Dalles is a city in Oregon along the southern banks of the Columbia river. Google currently operates a large datacenter there to take advantage of the cheap real estate and plentiful hydroelectric power. Culture Mulcher (talk) 05:17, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
