| Oklahoma farmers sound alarm on Chinese-owned weed farms taking over their town with workers armed with AK-47s using fake Amazon trucks to distribute cannabis |

| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Farmers in Oklahoma are warning residents about cannabis farms owned by China backed heavily armed workers using phony Amazon trucks. 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, in February arresting three Chinese nationals at a weed farm and seizing 40 pounds of the drug alongside $4,700 in cash. It's reported that authorities in Oklahoma have shut down at least 15 black market farms per day. The native, local farmers like Larry Williams have been intimidated by stories that the Chinese-owned growers arm themselves with AK-47s. There are other signs of the illegal grow-houses that separate them from the ones native to Oklahoma. Some of them have air condition units outside the barns, or fencing that none of the other farms have, as many shoot up and are ready to go after just a few months of construction, Williams claims. They also use disguised Amazon trucks, according to investigators, as well as look-a-like Amazon packaging. The marijuana is sold on the black market to dealers on the east coast, who profit despite many states on the eastern seaboard legalizing recreational cannabis. The profits are then returned to mainland China. 'The Chinese are not dumb. I mean, they recognize it, and they can exploit and drive behavior of unsuspecting Oklahomans through this cash transaction,' Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond told NewsNation's On Balance With Leland Vittert. Governor Kevin Stitt claims that the state has gotten rid of 6,000 fake houses since 2021, 80 percent of which were tied to China. |
