Law enforcement agencies from Maine to California say wealthy
investors — and, many suspect,
Communist party officials — are teaming up with Asian criminal organizations to take over the illicit marijuana trade in the US, generating enormous profits.
Some of the money is traced back to China, but it is also plowed back into US real estate, generating cash flow for years to come.
Large Chinese grow operations have been dominating California — from suburban Riverside and San Bernardino Counties to homes in the Bay Area, up to the Emerald Triangle near the Oregon border, the hub of state cannabis production.
Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue: "We've seen just tremendous explosion of Chinese folks coming in and buying land and then growing illegal marijuana. This scale that we're talking, I mean, we're talking thousands of different illegal grows within our community, and it's just perpetuated a lot of violence."
