Did You Know This?Mexican Crime Families Run Most of State’s Pot Farms?
Question by Zoe: Did you know this?Mexican crime families run most of state’s pot farms?
State Attorney General Bill Lockyer said last month that Mexican drug traffickers are using marijuana profits “to finance the production and distribution of methamphetamine” nationwide.
Without the state’s Campaign Against Marijuana Planting – a coordinated effort involving more than 100 local, state and federal drug agencies – Lockyer said the situation would quickly worsen.
Noe and other drug agents described how thousands of illegal Mexican nationals are smuggled across the border into rural areas of California, where their sole purpose is to grow, guard and harvest marijuana.
Noe said the men are provided guns, food and campsites. They’re paid up to $ 10,000 cash for their seasonal marijuana work, which typically runs from April through October, agents said.
Noe said that for the crime families, it’s a less risky way of doing business.
