U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Washington, recently appeared on Fox News Business to discuss congressional concerns over illegal marijuana farms and about fentanyl precursors in the U.S. — both with alleged ties to China.
Across the board, media outlets have repeatedly demonstrated how legalization of marijuana has fueled black market operations rather than reducing them — emboldening drug cartels that operate industrial scale marijuana cultivation sites.
Some of these marijuana operations are tied to labor trafficking and violent crime, and some may actually have connections to foreign interests like the Chinese Communist Party.
CBN reported last October that Chinese investors with “suitcases full of cash” are buying U.S. farmland to grow black market marijuana.
A CBS News segment last year highlighted how Chinese investment is driving illegal marijuana production across the U.S.
The list goes on.
These reports come as an organization in Arkansas is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to put marijuana on the ballot this year.
