Encamp buying hash

The Maine Wire has identified more than properties that are part of a sprawling network of Chinese-owned sites operating as unlicensed, illicit cannabis growing operations in rural Maine. According to an unclassified memo from the U. The sites were purchased over the past three years by single adults, primarily from New York and Massachusetts, using cash or financing arranged through a handful of mortgage companies. The Maine Wire investigation began following the leak of a separate DHS memo that revealed the existence of more than such sites in Maine. That memo, first reported by Jennie Taer of the Daily Caller News Foundation , offered the first public confirmation of what law enforcement officials have long known, but what neighbors to these properties and legal marijuana entrepreneurs have only suspected. Local, state, county, and federal officials, speaking mostly on the condition of anonymity, have confirmed to the Maine Wire that various law enforcement agencies have known about this foreign network of illicit drug manufacturing and distribution for more than two years. On Sept. This collection effort is supporting a national intelligence gathering initiative to identify a comprehensive picture of the threat posed to national security by Asian TCOs operating illegally in the United States. According to the DHS memos, the sites are operated by Chinese foreign nationals, some who are in the U. The locations of the sites — and the names of their owners — have not been publicly released. Send us an email! Scrupulous dispensaries avoid purchasing or selling marijuana from the illicit grows because it has a reputation for containing pesticides, fungicides, and other banned or harmful contaminants. The operators of these foreign-owned sites are also notorious around grow supply shops in Maine, where they are often found buying thousands of dollars in cultivation supplies. Speaking little to no English, the operators acquire supplies by pointing at images on their phones or by having someone out-of-state translate over the phone. According to DHS, the Asian TCOs use the proceeds of the marijuana grows to fund other illegal activities, including narcotics trafficking and human trafficking. The DCNF reported, based on Maine and federal sources, that many of the participants in the operation are either in the U. Morton declined to elaborate on those comments, instead referring the Maine Wire to the U. Attorney of Maine. A spokesperson for U. Customs and Border Patrol, the agency that published the original leaked memo, declined to comment on the memo. The Maine Wire offered to provide the U. Attorney of Maine and the Maine State Police with a list of illicit foreign-owned marijuana grows in Maine prior to the publication of this story, but both declined. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, which has been investigating illegal Chinese marijuana grows in Maine for at least two years, declined to comment for this story. A review of real estate records, physical site inspections, and interviews with hundreds of Mainers has identified more than Chinese-owned properties in Maine — all purchased by single men and women from out-of-state, primarily Brooklyn and Staten Island, over the past three years. The buyers often pay cash, but dozens of the properties carry mortgages from just a few finance companies. The sites are almost all in rural Maine and show evidence of active or recently active marijuana grow operations, including grow supplies and the obvious smell of marijuana even at a considerable distance. Almost all of the sites have had extensive modifications to houses, garages, and outbuildings to support marijuana growing, including the installation of or amp commercial grade electricity service, consumer-owned utility poles, and multiple heat pumps. Neighbors confirm that the houses frequently smell of marijuana and several times a year, a white van with New York or Massachusetts plates will arrive and depart. Neighbors also reported, in some cases, seeing tractor-trailer trucks delivering grow supplies. The properties the Maine Wire has identified account for thousands of acres of land in rural Maine and tens of millions of dollars worth of real estate. Although most of the properties are owned under the names of Chinese men and women from New York or Massachusetts, some of them are owned through LLCs. The Maine Wire was not able to independently confirm the immigration or citizenship status of the owners of these properties; however, nothing in U. The Maine Wire has also discovered records tying multiple sites together, including car registrations, municipal waste permits, real estate records, and other public records, which, taken together, support the determination that the grow sites are connected and centrally controlled under an umbrella organization. At a grow site in Fairfield, for example, there was a Toyota Corolla registered to the owner of a separate site in Garland. That same vehicle was later observed at the site in Garland. At a different Fairfield site, there was a truck with Mass. Law enforcement sources confirmed that they are aware of the existence of multiple sites in both Dexter and Wilton. Several of the properties that show obvious signs of active or recently active marijuana growing operations have been purchased by Chinese individuals from New York or Massachusetts only to be resold shortly after to other Chinese individuals from New York or Brooklyn. Before we get to the sites the Maine Wire identified, it will be helpful to go over some basics of growing marijuana indoors. The chief necessity is abundant electricity. That electricity is used to power the grow lights, which consume substantially more energy than your average LED lighting. But because those lights also generate a tremendous amount of heat, the grow rooms require cooling and ventilation equipment. The ideal temperature for growing marijuana is degrees Fahrenheit. Without significant air conditioning, the lighting would make a grow room too hot. The primary way the sites in Maine cool their grow rooms and control humidity is through heat pumps. The combined electricity consumption of the lighting and the heat pumps requires robust upgrades to electrical infrastructure at a typical residential property. Most of the sites identified by the Maine Wire show evidence of recent electrical upgrades and the addition of multiple heat pumps. Linesmen from Central Maine Power and local electricians both shared, on the condition of anonymity, stories about being asked to upgrade residential buildings with the power capacity typically only needed by energy-intensive businesses. One electrician in central Maine was asked to install commercial grade service to a mobile home — a job he refused because he found the customers, who did not speak English, too sketchy. The two most common electrical upgrades encountered at these sites are new or amp breaker boxes and consumer-owned utility poles. Without such upgrades, running a grow operation on common residential wiring risks starting a fire, as has happened at sites in Canaan, Winterport, and Vassalboro. In addition to electricity, the indoor grow rooms need to seal out ambient light, which is why all of the windows are boarded up at these locations. Ambient light during a dark-cycle can cause young marijuana plants to turn into hermaphrodites, which decreases the potency of the flower. Here are some more in-depth looks at sites the Maine Wire has identified based on real estate records, photographs provided by sources, public records, and interviews with law enforcement and residents of the towns. This 4-bed, 2-bath house was purchased by year-old Juan Lin on July 30, , according to Somerset Registry of Deeds records. The windows are obscured, not with curtains or blinds, but with a type of foil foam board used to keep out ambient light. On the back of the house, there are three active heat pumps, two on the main house and one on the semi-detached garage. The home also boasts an electrical entrance that far exceeds the standard residential electrical equipment. A master electrician licensed to work in Maine said the electrical equipment on the side of the home appeared to be a amp service with two amp manual disconnects — an expensive arrangement that is rare to install on a residential property. Inside the home, photos show clear evidence of a marijuana growing operation. Note: these were provided by a source who asked to remain anonymous. Legal Maine cultivators consulted by the Maine Wire assessed that this is what a standard grow operation looks like, noting the chemical containers, the newly installed benching on either side of the room, and and wiring. At the time the more recent photos were taken, there were two vehicles on the property. A charcoal gray truck with Massachusetts license plates and a large white cargo van, also with Mass. According to public records, the only other address associated with Lin is in Quincy, Mass. Though Lin owns the property, there is no evidence that he has himself participated in the cultivation or trafficking of marijuana. The Maine Wire has identified more than similar sites in Maine that all fit many elements of the same pattern: 1 purchased in the past three years by a single Chinese men or women from New York or Massachusetts; 2 strong odor of marijuana even from a distance of s of feet; 3 rubbish from commercial grow products; 4 massive upgrades to the electrical capacity of the property; 5 property has large garage, outbuilding, or barn; 6 all windows are completely blacked out; 7 multiple security cameras; and 8 multiple heat pumps running constantly. In New Sharon population: 1, , the Maine Wire identified two obvious marijuana grows purchased within the last three years. The house bears the tell-tale signs: all the windows boarded up, electrical upgrades, and, most tellingly, an overpowering odor of marijuana that could be easily detected from hundreds of feet away. During a visit in October, windows visible from the public road and the neighbors driveway appeared completely boarded up and the odor of marijuana was powerful though that could have been because the site is about yards from 5 Smith Road. Madison is host to at least three active indoor marijuana growing operations. When the Maine Wire visited these three properties attempting to interview the occupants, we observed the tell-tale signs of marijuana grows — blacked out windows, electrical upgrades, multiple heatpumps, and the obvious odor of marijuana. Wu, who previously lived in Brooklyn, purchased the property in Oct. Wu is also the owner of a house in Embden. Although Wu obtained financing for the Embden location, the two Madison properties were purchased in cash. Like the Fairfield location, the property at Lakewood Rd. Photos available on Zillow from before Wu acquired the property show it had no heat pumps installed on the front of the building. While attempting to contact Wu at the house for an interview, the Maine Wire observed three heat pumps on the front of the building and one on the back. Comparing the before and after pictures also shows that the garage has had new power service installed within the past three years. When the Maine Wire visited, every window was blacked out with sheet rock and blankets, and the smell of marijuana was apparent. At Golf Course Road, the house smelled strongly marijuana when the Maine Wire attempted to contact the owner. Although a woman came out of the house to talk, conducting an interview was impossible because she only spoke Mandarin. The occupant, a middle-aged Chinese woman, called an unidentified person who attempted to translate and conveyed that they were uninterested in talking. The windows on the house and the garage were all boarded up with either foam insulation or sheetrock, and the home had commercial grade electrical service. The home also had multiple security cameras. Like with other properties, before and after pictures show significant changes to the electrical equipment on the house following its purchase. On the same road is another site that a neighbor described as a Chinese-owned marijuana growing operation. The neighbor, who asked not to be named, said it was common knowledge on the road that the house was being used to grow marijuana. The aroma left little reason to doubt his opinion. Comparing older pictures of the property to how it appears now shows significant modifications to the five car garage, including window covers to exclude ambient light. This is how the home looks now. When the Maine Wire visited the home seeking an interview with the occupants, it appeared abandoned. Images provided to the Maine Wire by a source who asked to remain anonymous show marijuana growing equipment littering the property, including plant pots, fertilizer containers, and soil supplements. A source, who asked to remain anonymous, said CBP has visited this property and even used a hidden camera to photograph it over a period of months. The plummeting price for legal cannabis in Maine coincides well with when Chinese buyers began scooping up rural Maine properties and converting them into grow operations. According to industry experts the Maine Wire consulted, the amount of marijuana produced at a given spot would depend on the skill of the growers, the resources at their disposal, and how much of the home and garage has been dedicated to grow rooms. Assuming maximum efficiency, a 2, square-foot house could accommodate 50 grow lights, which would produce pounds of processed marijuana per harvest. Such an operation could expect four to twelve harvests per year, or to 1, pounds of marijuana flower. How much is that in U. That depends on where the flower is ultimately sold. This will be the first in a series of stories from the Maine Wire concerning Chinese organized crime in Maine. Future articles in this series will focus on the financial arrangements that have allowed Chinese buyers to purchase so much real estate in Maine, the political response to this problem from Augusta, how the Office of Cannabis Policy understands the problem, and what steps law enforcement is taking. Outstanding work. Maybe the FBI will take a break from raiding pro-life protesters and Conservative Catholics to get into these Chinese homes. Excellent article. This is the type of thorough investigative reporting that has been woefully absent from main-stream legacy media for many years. Wow, Steve! Excellent reporting! You should get a Pulitizer for this! You are a Treasure to Maine. A Light in Dark times. So very grateful for you. Where are federal authorities? Too busy fabricating evidence against Donald Trump and MAGA supporters, harassing parents who complain to school boards about racist and sexually explicit materials , and weaponizing alphabet federal agencies against law-abiding gun owners. Sad state of affairs we, as a country, find ourselves because of the Biden Regime. This is very eye opening and amazing journalism. Hope this springboards the Maine Wire into the national spot light. This article belongs on the desk of every Maine federal official and in the morning briefing meetings of Senator Collins and King. Wake up folks. We are already at war with the CCP ,only they are simply rotting our foundations from within by operations such as these. All you have to do is read Howard W. That was published in ! They have continued to practice the same tactics worldwide to undermine nations via criminal and coercive operations that accumulate resource wealth and property in order to eventually assert coercive financial control of the localized government structures ,then eventually the national level. Top shelf journalism that is surely lacking from the vast majority of MSM. This story includes our neighbors in our nice neighborhood. Fkn since 15, Promethean society. You left out culpable. Just like booze and tobacco in decades past, if weed is seen as a revenue source for government, blind eyes turn up everywhere. And Democrats have just won big in local elections. You have to be an idiot or hate America to vote a Democrat into office. This is what you get when you do. Going by articles like this the growing power of China is very clear. No other nation gets this much coverage in domestic issues. Great reporting. You should go to California and report on the illegal grows in the desert areas I grew up around. Its spreading through the western states. Hey Steve, can I get a copy of that google earth map with all the grow sites pinned? Could this happen in Maine? Great job Steve… just caught you on WarRoom… this will now get the national attention it deserves. The cape with attached garage was my house I built 30 years ago. No way in hell did I know who I was selling to when this sold. Buyer posed as a family guy, Chinese family. Was asking about electrical contractors the day of closing…very sad. I have heard alot from neighbors way before this article. Just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to money supplied for all this. We need to enforce the amount of property that can be bought by foreigners! Sorry…how else? I used to think that nothing could surprise me. This report stopped me in my tracks. Sadly a lost art. Offenders will be given free airfare home. Awesome article. If politicians, police sheriffs especially and the legal system etc. Unfortunately our government only stops crime when they do not benefit from it. Look for local officials living above their obvious means…I will wager you will easily find it.. Next check FLA. Our rental was used as a growing location. One bedroom closet was wall to wall chrome, Pots, blowers,water tubes, super power lamps, leaving stained floors, rugs and walls. Totally cleaned up now and up for sale. Thank you for this incredible story. In Hong Kong, immigration is very strict. Entry laws into Hong Kong state that any form of marijuana products is illegal. Do not take CBD creams, lotions shampoos or anything like that or be charged. The USA is finding itself in a shocking state of affairs for so many reasons. End times, I suppose. It would be a shame if Mainers took matters into their own hands. Lots of suspicious fires. Just saying…. How many people are getting paid off? Everybody knows but nobody gets raided? If that was you or I that had one illegal grow operation we would be raided at first light and hung from the light pole out front. Chinese triads making billions a year, yea no problem ………….. Adding my congrats for a great job of investigative reporting.! All in cash, so untraceable. Lots of cash to pay bribes, buy weapons and still have cash leftover. Again, great job. Stay safe. If the Governor or Law enforcement will do nothing the people of Maine better step up and do something after all we the people are the Government. Start executing these people then you will get their attention. Unfortunately, we can top all of these stories. Oregon and in particular, Southern Oregon and Northern Calif. It creates other problems like poisoning wells, ground water, creeks etc and puts a large scale drain on water resources as most rural people source their water through wells. Unfortunately, another grow operation springs up as soon as one is shut down. If we had these people deported and or sent to jail and property confiscated there might be a means to the end. Hopefully local law enforcement will be reading this article and doing something about it. We should be demanding that those in power in Augusta do whatever is needed to stop this influx of Chinese nationals from NY and MA! Cash is no issue to these folks as can be seen in the property buying taking place in and around Boston, hundreds of homes are being bought for cash by foreign Chinese nationals. The Deep state is a real thing, people are finally starting to see that. Had Hillary won in , we would be done for by now! WEF type globalist have bought out politicians everywhere. Or probably the best place to start would be to watch: Plandemic 3: The Great Awakening on X or instacrap. Several years ago this subject was brought up to our Sheriffs Dept.

Monday, October Illegal Chinese marijuana grows have taken over much of rural Maine. The government is either incapable — or unwilling — to do anything about it. A typical response may include: confirmation that this activity is occurring the number of suspected grows in your area of responsibility reports by concerned citizens or local officials relating to illegal grow operations by Asian TCOs or any other information respondents may deem of value. Most of the properties were acquired after Maine legalized the sale of recreational pot in Each pin represents a property in Maine purchased within the past three years that shows evidence of having been used to cultivate marijuana. But legal growers all agree that at least some Triad weed is entering Maine markets. A spokesperson for the U. Attorney of Maine declined to comment for this story. Indoor Marijuana Cultivation Before we get to the sites the Maine Wire identified, it will be helpful to go over some basics of growing marijuana indoors. It also reeks of pot, according to neighbors. This picture shows the same room prior to A vent on the side of the garage was pumping hot air that smelled strongly of marijuana. A neighbor took this picture shortly after the Winterport house caught fire. A CBP agent declined to comment when asked about this property. First off: How much marijuana could each site produce?

The front page of Legal Marijuana Real Store. Every day, we are afforded the opportunity to make choices, both good and bad. When riding crowded public transit, do we remain in our seat, or offer it to someone who looks like they could use it more? Offer the seat. When given too much change by a cashier, do we pocket the favored difference, or point out the discrepency to the cashier and return the extra cash? Unless the cashier is being a real tool, return it. Which brings us to a choice that I'm not going to wholeheartedly dismiss, nor will I unequivocally endorse. If you are reading this, the chances are greater than not that you are a legal aged adult, and are capable of making your own decisions. That said, I recently came across something that I personally wouldn't engage in, but you may wish to pursue: ordering cannabis products from a website. I'm not talking about ordering CBD off Amazon, although if you can avoid doing that, you should always buy local. On my father's grave, everything I am about to share is percent taken from the website , even though it sounds like a cough syrup fever dream that was run through a Russian to English translator app. A local cannabis meet-up group, to which I am subscribed, had a post that intrigued me—buy cannabis online! It was written in the style and with the emphasis most often seen in online ads that promise fast, easy cash, dramatic overnight weight loss, or a pill to lengthen your penis to 23 inches. It's what's 'in' this season. The site was put together by someone with a seemingly deep fondness for energy drinks and a strong distaste for traditional grammar and capitalization. The days of faux stores are over, friend! The day is happy! The Real Store has 18 categories of different types of flower—sativa, indica, hybrids—along with hash, edibles, CBD products, seeds, and everything else you could need. No, seriously—there are 14 pages of items from which to choose, with about 12 products per page. Again, all is legal, worry is not yours, because this store is please remember real with much legal marijuana for you to order online. Do not think you will be made sad by your online legal marijuana weed purchase, for this is legal marijuana from a real online store that you are making yours! There is a live chat feature, which I first used by explaining I write about cannabis, and would they want to talk with me. Strangely, no one wished to speak to me about this endeavor, even though it's real and legal status is pretty clear. I tried a second time with this unaltered exchange:.
