Federal authorities have charged seven Chinese nationals in connection with a sprawling marijuana trafficking operation across the Northeast. The group allegedly ran illegal grow houses that pumped out millions of dollars’ worth of cannabis for the black market.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a local bust—it highlights how international networks are exploiting gaps in drug enforcement, especially as legal weed markets expand. The scale of the operation suggests organized crime involvement, raising questions about how these schemes fly under the radar for so long. For law enforcement, it’s another reminder that the illicit drug trade is still thriving despite legalization in many states.
