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.

The situation in Maine seems to be bad.
There is a local website, The Maine Wire, that conducts OUTSTANDING investigative journalism. I learned about them with the shooting last year.
They have been ALL OVER this story. Indeed, my suspicion is they did SO MUCH uncovering that the authorities HAD to act.
Check them out.
Ya gotta love an editor who “ is a practicing anti-communist. ”
A lot of them are on Indian Reservations, inadequate law enforcement and the Feds can’t assist without an invite.
I love the Maine Wire ......found it when the SoS tried to dump
Trump from the ballot. She was quite cozy w/ Biden at the time.
……libs care so much about Indian sovereignty,
and care beans about national sovereignty….
Maybe the government ought to go after these guys rather than wasting all the recourses on hanging Trump.
Soros is one of the leading promoters of marijuana legalization.
The Chinese in the CCP are Communists, NOT STUPID!
I pray for the future of our nation, our people, our families, and our Freedom.
WWG1WGA!
p
$100 per lb.? It wasn’t that long ago that pot was $150 or more per 1/4 oz. in OR.
so have the mexican cartels
Laced with what, might I inquire?
/rhetorical
perfectly ok for foreigners to destroy our state parks- but let a citizen drop a gum wrapper in the park, and the swat team raids your house at 3 am.
🤣👍🏻
100%
Make up your minds!
They already are kigpins. If anyone can do a deep background on Newsom’s past family there’s(allegedly) a heroin dealer back there that smuggled Mexican black tar into California.
The google tyrants bleach bit that and never was able to check sources.
The chicoms run a lot of the routes and they do own/run a lot of weed farms in California along with the cartels. California Insider( wiped off You Tube) did a few documentaries on this.
“Chinese gangs have set up thousands of illicit weed farms across the US”
Hunt them all down.
Shoot, shovel , and shut up .
It is pathetic and disgusting that so many people in America need to take drugs to get through their day. Fentanyl, marijuana, any of the other garbage—what a nation of weaklings we have become. And with this weakness comes a reliance on the criminals—cartels and Chinese—who supply it.
Its all OK as long as he gets his 10%.

I’ve tried to make your point here for ages.
BTW: It’s not “China”, it’s The CCP. (and Soros).
