Steve Robinson

He has no idea.

who his boss is.

He probably only interacts with his boss through WeChat.

He gets instructions.

He's told when a pickup's coming and maybe he's sent some money.

He's told when his shipment of groceries is coming.

He's maybe given some instructions about how to grow his plants or deal with pesticides, whatever.

But he is a victim of trafficking.

He's a victim of Chinese communism.

He's not the main culprit here.

But our justice system is like,

Yeah, we got him.

We got the bad guy.

We found this illegal pot grower.

And so we put him in jail, and we take his mugshot.

And he goes through the criminal justice system and gets a slap on the wrist.

And the cops and the courts and everybody pats themselves on the back and says that they did a good job.

But what happens after that is the person who owns the property, who wasn't there and probably will never be there, just somehow another person turns up and starts that marijuana group again.

and they'll go get a marijuana license.

And then they'll try to at least feign like they're doing it the right way.
