I agree, amazing how long many have ignored its intrusion into federal and state lands. The stuff grows like weeds.. It is a weed. The state could use the revenue from a crop like this and a crop it is all the side discussions aside, it’s also obvious there are foreign markets hungry for it.
The fact that Mexican cartels support armies of growers makes it a real tough nut to crack, of late, there are no shortage of busts and arrests statewide with Mexican nationals involved.
Follow the money trail. What's the possibility that state bureaucrats are taking a percentage to keep quiet? The operation is so widespread and nobody knows about it?
