Illegal Chinese marijuana grows have taken over much of rural Maine.
The government is either incapable — or unwilling — to do anything about it.
The Maine Wire has identified more than 100 properties that are part of a sprawling network of Chinese-owned sites operating as unlicensed, illicit cannabis growing operations in rural Maine.
According to an unclassified memo from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) obtained by the Maine Wire, the illicit grows are operated by Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs).
The properties cover Somerset County, Penobscot County, Kennebec County, Franklin County, Androscoggin County, and Oxford County.
The sites were purchased over the past three years by single adults, primarily from New York and Massachusetts, using cash or financing arranged through a handful of mortgage companies.
The Maine Wire investigation began following the leak of a separate DHS memo that revealed the existence of more than 270 such sites in Maine.
That memo, first reported by Jennie Taer of the Daily Caller News Foundation, offered the first public confirmation of what law enforcement officials have long known, but what neighbors to these properties and legal marijuana entrepreneurs have only suspected.
Namely, that Chinese foreign nationals are exploiting Maine’s lax marijuana laws, the Biden Administration’s immigration policies, and cheap real estate in rural Maine to grow a fortune using exploited illegal alien laborers.

Our country has been sold out by traitors from within folks.
Hence the Chinese flowing illegally through the borders
Biden is an unwiped asshole
They “legalized” it in such a convoluted way that it’s still a big illegal business. It’s a weed. It’s always been a weed. I suggest that the state just treat it like a weed and then see if the Chinese still come over here and set up all these shady farms so that they can sell a literal weed to people.
Maybe citizen militias could surreptitiously go in, make sure everybody’s out of the house and burn everything to the ground
Not on topic, but every time I see a map of Maine I think of how we should’ve taken all the land up to the St. Lawrence, but screwed it up in the French and Indian War and the War of 1812.
Maybe three’s the charm.
Your asking Maine people to resolve a problem in their own state? Ridiculous.
I've said many times, the demoncratic party makes a LOT of money off narcotics...
Here too.
There would be no Chinese or other growers if there was no market for the product. John King said it well in one of his songs: “ god damn the pusher man.” Do people really need to be stoned 24 hours a day?
Lots of money to build greenhouses
Done intentionally to weaken our youth and young people and turn them into potheads who play video games all day.
Some seem to. You cannot go anywhere these days except an occasional church without coming across people who reek of skunk. In stores you can smell them in the next aisle over. At stoplights if you roll down a window sometimes it smells like the vehicle next to you is hauling burning bales of it in the trunk, it is so strong.
I smell marijuana all day long, from five in the morning on the road to everywhere I go. We are in a spiral of national death.
And Now...
Indentured Chinese illegals for Labor !
Hey!
It ain't cheap or easy to keep stealing elections.
Not like they are going to steal themselves, without a guiding hand.
There are grow operations all over the country.
So far the gang war between the triads and the cartels has been kept quieted.
Won't be like that forever.
"Wait...what?
Fed, state and local law enforcement are letting this treason happen and they're still going after J6 protestors almost 3 years later.
