And that's when I started getting calls from a sheriff in Oklahoma saying, hey, the Chinese have taken over here.
We don't know what's going on.
Went over to Oklahoma documenting that.
And now, Dr. Drew, the state of Maine has been hit with another wave of this kind of Chinese organized crime that used to really be dominated by Mexican cartels.
It seems that the Chinese have got the access to the illegal marijuana as long as they can keep providing those chemical precursors to Mexican criminal organizations back in Mexico.
I think it's both.
To be honest, Dr. Drew, when you say illegal marijuana farm, I think people think two hippies listening to some Bob Marley smoking a joint.
And that's not the picture at all.
And I think if I could just point out, a lot of this marijuana, the chemicals that are being sprayed are illegal pesticides based.
Being shipped from China directly, when I started covering this issue, the illegal pesticides were coming strictly from Mexico.
Now authorities are finding these illegal pesticides, and all the writing is in Mandarin.
And that's the marijuana that's also being consumed by everyday Americans.
A lot of that marijuana is making it into legal marijuana shops as well.
I just think it's such a big issue.

kind of legalizing it even more, making it easier, could actually be a good thing for cartels and Chinese organized crime.
Well, the thing is, when it makes it legal, the thing is that you still have other states where it's illegal.
