The Oklahoma law enforcement complex is still doing a great job using our tax dollars to fight the unwinnable war on drugs!
Yesterday, over 200 cops and feds from around the state conducted a massive raid of primarily Chinese-owned "black market" marijuana farms.
Although the big crackdown won't really do anything to combat the nuisance of illegal marijuana grow operations in the state, or put a dent in the black market supply, it did give OBN, OMMA, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, and all others in the ruling class an opportunity to use the media to pander to their authoritarian, "tough on crime" supporters, and provide the false impression that they're combatting the illegal drug trade.
Via The Oklahoman:
Oklahoma drug enforcement officers conducted a massive raid of nine marijuana grow operations across the state early Tuesday, targeting criminal organizations that are believed to have transported black market cannabis out of state.
The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics led the multi-agency operation with more than 200 state, federal and local law enforcement officers executing search warrants and arrest warrants. The raids also targeted three residences in Edmond, Norman and Mustang that are believed to have been involved in illegal shipments.
OBN said this raid is the largest marijuana-related bust in Oklahoma history, a move cracking down on an industry that has exploded in the state since medical cannabis was legalized in 2018.
I know people in the weed business in the state, and if you're not trying to sell some of your product on the black market, you're probably doing it wrong. With the state oversupplied with all types of marijuana products, I'm pretty sure it's the only way local growers can make a decent profit!
