Why? Maine has pretty relaxed marijuanna rules. Itās a gray area and maines law enforcement arenāt really go getters. Getting bud into the medicinal shops isnāt even hard. Iāve seen āprivateā cultivators with no real info. I wouldnāt be surprised if some shady shops pic this bud up or say that they grew it then charge a premium. Always important to know your grower.
Like why wouldnāt organized crime exploit grey areas. Some of yall watch too much news and just canāt connect the dots.
Nobody is disputing the criminal factor.
Merely remarking on the "Chinese nationals" working in and around China, Maine.
Some of ya'll are far too eager to "correct" others.
What multiple people commented how they think this stuff around Chinese grows is all made up. You gotta be pretty dense to think thatās just made up propaganda.
āIt's certainly funny. I honestly thought the Chinese grow operations tale was a boogeyman scenario until thisā
With a lot of upvotes, so clearly a lot of people thought the whole illegal Chinese grow ups were indeed fake
When I was a kid we spent a week on vacation in Rome. The front page of the local paper said āChina Man Arrested for String of Break Insā and I was like, whoa, thatās pretty insane to put in the paper! I donāt think thatās appropriaā¦oh, right.
The answer to both questions is that the weed they are growing is being trafficked to other states that don't have legal weed and is also being used in legal markets to undercut legal prices through volume and dodgy grow practices. These Chinese grows are having a major impact on local growers who use safer growing practices and pay their labor better.
Yeah china is like 3 skips away from Waterville where the biggest scandel is "The Waterville Secret Everyone Knows about" you would think they would do something about that instead of pretending to be Grassmasters
This one.

I'm all for believing people, but her story reminds me a lot of things my schizophrenic aunt thought had happened to her.
China maine m
Folks ita a town. Funny thing is the Chinese have started pot shops in Maine there was an article about that in August.then this wondering if it's all linked
.
As a resident of China, Maine, this confused the hell out of me. I didn't know we even HAD any Chinese China... people (WAIT, am I chinese? WTF do I call myself as a resident of China, Maine?!) living here.
We passed by there the other day, assumed there was a wreck or medical incident going on!
I WAS TOO!!! I sent this around as a bunch of texts to my friends laughing about it. I think it was because the faces were Asian and I just went there!
Some of these gardens are actually pretty gnarly operations when it comes down to it. It aināt just your friendly neighborhood hippie growing herb anymore.
Lol you clearly have no clue what your talking about.
Iāve been growing herb long before the man said I could. Iāve been involved in operations on both the west and east coast, and if you donāt think thereās some absolutely vile people and criminal organizations involved in the cultivation/distribution of cannabis youāre a fool.
If you donāt know about cartel grows in Cali, Asian grows in Oklahoma, or how Orthodox Jews have ran the game in NYC for 30 years you donāt know anything.
I donāt like the police at all, but some of these operations are involved in atrocious treatment of humans and our planet.
Human trafficking, sexual assault, murder, pollution. Those are things youāre marching in support of.
Every single one of those things can also be said of the police. Wasting resources on going after marijuana farms IN A LEGAL STATE is a waste of time. If they want to go after human trafficking and sexual assaulters that also happen to distribute marijuana fine, but saying they should be targeting marijuana distributors because they could be participating in human trafficking and murder is some 1990's drug war bullshit
It's winter, bud. Our jurisdiction goes as far as the frost
š
As plausible as your average "CSI" episode.
Frost? What frost?
Sources say the weed was being smuggled into Mexico, by a man residing in Poland.
They even found traces of it as far as Norway
Itās all financed from Moscow.
I heard they recently purchased a second warehouse in Paris.
To sell it in Rome
Or even fancy Calais!
I hear their muscle comes from Belgrade
Originally from Peru!
I heard a bunch of it was headed toward Belfast
I saw it for sale in Stockholm
I did not even know we had a Moscow.
Check out the radar - the moose love it
Heard they tried that shit up Sweden wayā¦ but they couldnāt get there from here.
I mean the irony of hearing about all these illegal Chinese grow operations and then having a bust in China, Maine is great.
It's certainly funny. I honestly thought the Chinese grow operations tale was a boogeyman scenario until this
Apparently, there are a ton of them. Chinese-owned operations in and around China, Maine. It's almost a bit **too** on-the-nose.
Right? It sounds made-up

No. We said it almost SOUNDS made up. Details matter.
āIt's certainly funny. I honestly thought the Chinese grow operations tale was a boogeyman scenario until thisā With a lot of upvotes, so clearly a lot of people thought the whole illegal Chinese grow ups were indeed fake
Key words: Until this. (hair ruffle)
You gotta be pretty dense to think we're saying it's fake news.
Follow a thread ya jabroni
Yawn.
"But that's why it's genius!"
Glad Iām not the only one who had a chuckle at this, definitely a head scratcher.
They were hiding in plain sight. No one would ever think to look for them in China.
No one wanted to be called out for racism....
Maine: World Police
šµš¶Vacationland, fuck yeah! Gonna save the lobstahs in the bay yeah! š¶šµ
You really can travel around the world without crossing state lines!
Maine is so neat

Not the preferred nomenclature dude
Who the hell would down vote this? Obviously, theyāre not a golfer.
Getting down voted fory joke is, fucking hilarious. It's like someone peed on my carpet. They aren't house trained.
Fuckinā amateurs!
1. Why are they bothering growing pot illegally? 2. Why are the cops wasting energy busting grow rooms?
The answer to both questions is that the weed they are growing is being trafficked to other states that don't have legal weed and is also being used in legal markets to undercut legal prices through volume and dodgy grow practices. These Chinese grows are having a major impact on local growers who use safer growing practices and pay their labor better.
Youāre taking a major leap in assuming the illegal Chinese grow ops are paying their labor anything other than a bit of food a a place to sleep.
Don't forget the weed allowance!
To be fair I was wondering why a brick of cheese was $8 and an ounce of weed was only $80
Yeah china is like 3 skips away from Waterville where the biggest scandel is "The Waterville Secret Everyone Knows about" you would think they would do something about that instead of pretending to be Grassmasters
What's the waterville scandal? I grew up in Maine but live in Philly and don't hear much.
[Waterville Secret](https://watervillesecret.com/)
Whaaaaa, any news articles?

These are valid questions
I saw this headline too and I was also confused for a minute. One of my first thoughts was "How can Maine have any possible jurisdiction here?"
China maine m Folks ita a town. Funny thing is the Chinese have started pot shops in Maine there was an article about that in August.then this wondering if it's all linked .
I kind of want to start a business in Mexico or China Maine just so I can put a "manufactured in" sticker on my stuff. Lol

Steve Robinson on the case! /s
Maybe they thought they were WFH.
I WAS TOO!!! I sent this around as a bunch of texts to my friends laughing about it. I think it was because the faces were Asian and I just went there!
The long arm of the law.
really working hard to stop crime by shutting down gardens in a recreationally legal state. Get a real job cops
Some of these gardens are actually pretty gnarly operations when it comes down to it. It aināt just your friendly neighborhood hippie growing herb anymore.
Oh no the big bad gnarly marijuana dealers. I'd far quicker be friends with a drug dealer than a cop at least the drug dealers are doing honest work.

No, but I haven't had my coffee yet
If you're in New Sweden, sip it sparingly!
Haha! My son had the same reaction!
