REVEALED: Chinese gangs are behind THOUSANDS of illegal weed farms across the US - sparking fears that CCP could become new cannabis kingpins
Daily Mail UK ^ | 03 03 2024 | Miles Dilworth and Will Potter

Chinese gangs have set up thousands of illicit weed farms across the US as they begin to challenge Mexican cartels for supremacy as America's cannabis kingpins.

Authorities in Oklahoma, Oregon, California, New Mexico and Maine have all been battling a surge in Chinese weed farms, with some thought to be linked to criminal gangs known as 'triads'.

The spread is seemingly uncontainable, with police in Penobscot County, Maine, last week arresting three Chinese nationals at a weed farm and seizing 40 pounds of the drug alongside $4,700 in cash.

It is thought to be one of around 270 illegal weed farms worth more than $4billion that have sprung up across the state since it legalized the drug in 2020.

Local law enforcement has carried out multiple busts already this year.

As I’ve often said about fentanyl, this is the chicom version of a reverse opium war. And without firing a shot.

“Could become…”

My son in law was in a task force that rooted these grow houses out, and took them down.

As usual, the media is years behind the curve on this story. The Chinese gangs have been doing this for a long, long time.

Two headlines posted here in the past few months-

NY is going to destroy 250,000lbs thx to oversupply

Weed hit $100/lb black market in Oregon recently.

I’m going to wish them BOL and similar to Wall St-at some point maybe they’ll figure out that it is literally a weed that anyone can grow.

Did anyone notice that the Chinese border-jumpers recently interviewed were kinda classier and had their good looking wives with them?

That concerned me. These people were coming here for a reason.

Remember these murders.

“ Seven people are dead and one is critically injured following shootings at two farms in Half Moon Bay this afternoon, a source confirmed to ABC7 News.”

Deploy the Reserves and National Guard, with AMMO.
Destroy these a$$holes where ever and when ever they are found.
Destroy them. Leave them in pools of their own blood. Video it. Run it on the nightly news.
It wouldn’t take long to fix this crap.
But, do we have the guts? Do we have the will?
I don’t know...
