Oklahoma's Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (OBN) reported Friday that the agency’s investigation linked sex trafficking, prostitution, and drug trafficking to medical marijuana farms across the state. These illegal activities seem to be part of an Asian organized crime network, according to Fox 25.
"This organization provides criminal services for several medical marijuana farms in Oklahoma," OBN spokesman Mark Woodward said, reported KOCO Oklahoma City. "Our investigation has uncovered evidence of sex trafficking linked to the recruitment of undocumented Asian females for the purpose of engaging in prostitution that caters to managers and administrators of numerous marijuana farms around the state."
