Chinese gangsters rule the illicit marijuana trade in Oklahoma

Well, I hope Lily could find 250 lbs of stinky weed in semi-enclosed vehicle. I probably could have smelled it from 5-10 DOWNWIND of the vehicle. At any rate, glad they got it and I hope Lily finds more and more.

Chinese mobsters own many, the rest are owned out of California and Florida. Probably a few owned by Oklahoma residents, but most just have some okie’s name on the paperwork.

Somebody somewhere is gonna be pizzed.

Small change. Now 26.5 tons of blow, thats something.

Not that I encourage drug abuse, And I surely dont use that crap, but the bottom line is the government should have no say in what I put into myself. Think about this: They've taken away your right not to hurt. If you re in serious pain you have to go to a Dr. and literally beg for some pain meds, and if that Dr. doesn't like you, or feels that your pain isnt enough, he can just refuse you and you're out of luck. Either hurt of go black market and risk prison. Thats so much ********, who has the right or ability to tell me what my pain level or whether or not I should have relief. I love America and am thankful to live here, but there's a lot of BS, and to the DEA and all those who think they know whats good for me better than I know whats good for me...

Coast Guard offloads 26.5 tons of cocaine seized in Eastern Pacific Drug Transit​

By 7th Coast Guard District 7th Coast Guard District
MIAMI — The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton offloaded approximately 26.5 tons of cocaine in Port Everglades Thursday worth an estimated $715 million wholesale value seized in international waters off the Eastern Pacific Ocean since Oct. 1.
The drugs were interdicted along Central and South America by Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Navy ships sailing with embarked Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment (LEDET) teams aboard.
The offload represents 27 separate, suspected drug smuggling vessel interdictions and five bale recovery operations by Coast Guard, Royal Canadian Naval crews and its interagency partners:

• The Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton was responsible for 11 cases, seizing an estimated 10.3 tons of cocaine.
• The cutter Mellon was responsible for seven seizures and two bale recoveries for an estimated 5.5 tons of cocaine.
• The cutter Forward was responsible for one seizure for an estimated 1.7 tons of cocaine.
• The cutter Dependable was responsible for four seizures for an estimated 2.8 tons of cocaine.
• The cutter Active was responsible for one bale recovery operation for an estimated 2.2 tons of cocaine.
• The cutter Dauntless was responsible for three seizures for an estimated 3.4 tons of cocaine.
• The Royal Canadian Ship HMCS Edmonton and a Coast Guard LEDET were responsible for two seizures and one bale recovery operation for an estimated 1,500 pounds of cocaine.
• The Royal Canadian Ship HMCS Brendon and a Coast Guard LEDET were responsible for one bale recovery operation for an estimated 1,540 pounds of cocaine.

“This not only showcases the threat posed by dangerous cartels, gangs and criminal groups that make up extensive transitional organized crime networks, but it also highlights the commitment of the Coast Guard and its interagency partner’s efforts to detect, interdict, investigate and prosecute operatives for these criminal networks,” said Vice Adm. Karl Schultz, commander, U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Area.
“Hamilton’s cargo this morning represents the combined efforts of the multi-national coalition, led by the U.S. Coast Guard, which is working to stem the tide of the narcotics trade in the Caribbean Basin,” said Commodore Craig Baines, commander, Royal Canadian Naval Atlantic Fleet. “It is a tangible example of our collective efforts to keep narcotics off our streets while at the same time promoting regional security.”
Numerous U.S. agencies from the Departments of Defense, Justice and Homeland Security are involved in the effort to combat transnational organized crime. The Coast Guard, Navy, Customs and Border Protection, FBI, Drug Enforcement Agency, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement along with allied and international partner agencies play a role in counter-drug operations. The fight against transnational organized crime networks in the Eastern Pacific requires unity of effort in all phases from detection, monitoring and interdictions, to prosecutions by U.S. Attorneys in California, on the East Coast, and in the Caribbean.
“The 53,000 pounds of seized cocaine coming off our decks today is the product of partnerships and the collaboration of U.S. Southern Command, the Departments of Homeland Security, Defense, State, and Justice and the Royal Canadian Navy,” said Capt. Scott Clendenin, commanding officer Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton. “When pursuing modern maritime smugglers, seconds count, and each of these interdictions involved a collaborative effort of joint, interagency, and international aircraft and vessels, against stealthy well coordinated fast moving smugglers.”

I actually saw this on Season 2 of Tulsa. It's ok though they all were "disappeared". All's well that ends well.
