Title: Chinese crime syndicate in our valley
Post by: DeadNutz on September 22, 2021, 05:21:57 PM
They busted a large illegal marijuana grow in our valley that was being run by a Chinese crime operation. The grow facility had 160 greenhouses on 22 acres of Indian land at the south end of the valley. They knew it existed and were trying to find the principals in the operation before raiding it. They removed 62 tons of weed from the site. You can even see the facility under construction on Google. It is over one ridge east of the main highway through through our valley and the state north and south. The environmental damage is really bad with the powerful and illegal fertilizers and human waste and trash.

who were they harming by growing besides the land with fertilizers they shouldnt use ?


I know of 3 illegal grows withe 30mins of me and their just poor folk looking to pay bills... As someone who has their card i can tell you its cheaper to buy Home grown than dispensary weed and is usually stronger since they have limits set how strong weed can be... One guy i know grows in michigan for dispensary's and sells the stuff to strong for them on the street.

did you read it? illegal pot operation run by a group, doesn't matter what group, with huge pollution. would it be ok if it was a large mfg. or cattle operation polluting.

i could give to shits about a guy growing for himself, i know of a grow within a mile of my place. maybe 3 or 4 plants. illegal grow operations are usually run in coordination with other illegal activities.

I dont think that was a personal consumption grow. And I seriously doubt they was just poor folks trying to get by. The worst part of this one is probably the loss of taxes for the Feds. Thats what brought out the raid. Feds gotta get their cut.

Dustin, with that kind of operation, organized crime is involved and you can bet violence comes in there at some point.  And you can just about bet that they are involved in other activities such as sex trafficking and opioids, especially if they are Chinese,.

I don't care if someone smokes weed, I have certainly done my fair share, and if was some homeys with dozens of plants supporting their families, few folks would care. 

this apparently was on a stratospheric scale.

And lot of truth to the feds wanting their cut

Yes you missed one of the most important parts which is a foreign crime syndicate is responsible. Environmental damage is severe with 22 acres which destroyed the native plants, chemical damage, human waste from 82 workers polluting the ground and trash. They also drilled illegal wells which caused trees near the wells to die. So they dumped chemicals which may leach into our aquifer and wash down in the watershed to cause more damage.

The state is the ones losing taxes and they messed up by putting it on federal tribal lands. Yea, what's the harm.

Here are the agencies involved and looks like everything but the dogcatcher.
Agencies involved in the raid included the Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Homeland Security Investigations, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Environmental Protection Agency, the Nevada National Guard, Bureau of Land Management, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Nevada Department of Public safety, Carson City Sheriff’s Office, Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board, Nevada Highway Patrol, Washoe Tribe Police Department, the Intertribal Cannabis Commission and the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office.

Never understood this logic? Are you so weak that you need to get high just to make it through the day?
Life`s as tough as you wana make it.

I see little difference  between smoking weed and drinking
  People do both to relax, have fun with friends and be social.

Yes both can be abused and certainly are but as a customer who owned a traveling carnival ride business and hired lots of help said he would take a pot smoker over a drinker any day.

till you live with chronic pain or severe ptsd like i have you have no idea the relief a simple joint or few  puffs on a vape can bring specially when most docs treat ptsd with drugs that can make you a zombie... Valium,xanax,etc

one can be abused further .. I heard of blackout drunk. But never known anyone to get blackout stoned.

never heard of black out stoned?? you was doing it wrong. :lol_hitting:

As a consumer of both I can tell that pot steals your ambition, alcohol steals your intelligence.  BTDT got the Tshirt among other things to show for it. Damn glad I gave all that crap up years ago.

Medical and recreational weed is everywhere in Maine. Both are legal and stores are everywhere. Medical stores seem to be every 20 ft in some towns. Not sure how they all stay open but must be lots of folks thinking it makes a difference for pain or whatever. I would take weed over a script for opiates any day of the week if it worked to alleviate the pain. I've smoked enough to know its a waste of time and I'm not interested in doing it anymore but whatever floats your boat.

Hopefully they can find a way to prevent further damage by the acts of those disgusting people.


By the way why can't anyone download some plans and " legally " make their own open bolt sub machine guns ?

Why is it that many states can " legalize " a federally controlled and illegal substance like marijuana,  but no states can " legalize " the manufacture of and sale of new machine guns ?


I'm not saying marijuana shouldn't be legal because I don't think it's a bad thing, but it certainly doesn't seem right that this federally illegal thing can be " legalized " on a state level but nothing firearms related can.
