'Narco slaves': Migrant workers face abuse on Oregon's cartel-run, illegal pot farms
““You feel humiliated, trampled on. You feel like dying,” one worker said.”
Last year, Oregon lawmakers agreed the problem with illegal pot farms is out of control, recognizing the cartels had infiltrated the industry and migrants were being trafficked to work the fields. This form of human trafficking is also a current issue in Jefferson State/NorCal too!
But help can’t come fast enough. Currently, 21 states and Washington, D.C., have legalized the recreational use of marijuana. Some advocates say it needs to be decriminalized nationally to prevent cartels from smuggling cannabis to buyers in states where it’s still illegal.
