GRAYS HARBOR COUNTY, Wash. (KOMO) - Detectives said 32,449 marijuana plants with an estimated value of more than $80 million were seized during a multi-county raid in Washington State on Tuesday that uncovered a huge illegal pot-growing operation involving Chinese Nationals.

According to the Grays Harbor County Drug Task Force, a total of 50 search warrants were carried out including 38 in Grays Harbor County, eight in King County and four in Thurston County.

Detectives said 44 people were arrested during the operation. They also seized $400,000 worth of cash and gold along with more than two dozen vehicles, multiple guns and other items of value.

The Grays Harbor County Drug Task Force oversaw the operation, which began earlier this year when several residents reported possible illegal marijuana grows near Elma.

Later in the year, McCleary, Aberdeen and Hoquiam Police received similar complaints.

Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Deputies and Police detectives then identified several possible locations of the suspected illegal grow operations.

The Drug Task Force took over the investigation in August and learned several homes had been purchased for the purpose of setting up the illegal marijuana grows.

Detectives said they found the majority of the homes were purchased with cash by Chinese Nationals involved in organized crime, and profits from the illegal grows appeared to be funding other criminal enterprises. They said those investigations are still ongoing.

Great. Make them consume more.

Besides, it may reduce gun violence by pacifying people.

Sorry dream all you want but it is never going to be like this with around 27% of the male population addicted.

We won’t even talk about the women rushing to international port cities and what they were doing with rich foreigners
to pay for their addiction.

Hopefully, it will contribute to the big picture.

Reverse opium war. One step at a a time.

Marijuana should be legal all across the US. In fact, in the US state where I did MA and where marijuana is still illegal, all my local classmates used to smoke it.

They say it is healthier. What's wrong with contributing to the health of society. More marijuana=less violence. All of my marijuana-smoking friends were very docile.

Better legalize Marijuana or more deaths will follow.

Many do drugs for recreation, 52% American had used drugs before. Some do drugs as part of their religious practice.

We won’t even talk about the women rushing to international port cities and what they were doing with rich foreigners
to pay for their addiction.

The source didn't say anything more than a women smoking opium. Why fabricate? Money and drug aren't not only reason for going into prostitution.
