#Repost @marijuanadistribution ・・・ Mexican cartels have a long history of importing, growing and redistributing illicit cannabis in the United States. But Chinese investors, owners and workers have emerged in recent years as a new source of funding and labor for illegal marijuana production. What is known — from interviews with state law enforcement officials, experts on the international drug trade, economists and lawmakers — is that the number of farms funded by sources traceable back to Chinese investors or owners has skyrocketed. Chinese owners and workers have become a larger presence at illegal grows in Oklahoma, California and Oregon, they say. In Oklahoma, close to 3,000 of the state’s nearly 7,000 licensed marijuana farms have been flagged for suspicious activity by law enforcement over the last year. Those operations are now being investigated for obtaining their licenses fraudulently and/or for selling into the illicit market, according to Mark Woodward, spokesperson for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics. The agency believes that 2,000 of those farms have a Chinese connection — supplying workers, funding or both. Of the more than 800 farms the OBN has shut down in the last two years for operating illegally, Woodward said roughly 75 percent are linked to China. Despite the Chinese Communist Party’s strict stance on drugs, the triads — which run global crime networks distributing chemicals needed to manufacture methamphetamine and fentanyl, among other potentially dangerous substances — often curry favor with the CCP by functioning as extralegal enforcers for the government, Felbab-Brown said. The CCP in turn often allows them to continue their operations, though it does not control them. (at Times Square, New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqX7EKWOTJx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When someone claiming to be an official with the "Oklahoma Marijuana Board" showed up at a Hughes County grow operation demanding payment for a code violation alongside what appeared to be other Oklahoma law enforcement agents, something didn't seem right.

With a search warrant in hand, wearing badges and patches indicating an official capacity, the group of six individuals once on the grow operation's property stole cell phones and marijuana from the farm.

Now, an active investigation is looking into two separate robberies of Oklahoma marijuana farms by a handful of imposters attempting to pass as state officials, some claiming to work for a state agency — "Oklahoma Marijuana Board" — that does not exist.

"So it's not the first time we've seen that happen," said Mark Woodward, spokesman of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control. "In the past they've showed up at either a grow or a dispensary and claimed to be with the state of Oklahoma, saying there were violations and demanded money on site to pay the fine for the violation or be shut down."

Oklahoma marijuana farm robberies, investigations detailed

On Sunday, the first robbery was reported in Hughes County, followed by a second robbery in Seminole County on Monday. Several state law enforcement agencies confirmed none of the state's investigative bodies were involved in the searches.

"We were not conducting any type of operation down there," Woodward said.

Additionally, the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority and other state regulatory bodies do not demand fines be paid immediately, or at gunpoint on a person's property.

So far, one person has been taken into custody in relation to the illegal raids, according to Woodward.

An ongoing investigation into the incidents, led by District Attorney Paul Smith whose district encompasses both Hughes and Seminole counties, anticipates search warrants and arrest affidavits to be issued by Wednesday, according to a release from Smith's office.

The District Attorney's Drug and Violent Crime Task Force is working alongside the state narcotics bureau and Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation in examining allegations of robbery, kidnapping and drug trafficking.

How to Open a Medical Marijuana Dispensary

A doctor's recommendation for cannabis use is necessary to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Oklahoma. To operate a medical marijuana dispensary, individuals must first register as patients or caregivers of a registered patient. Once they have registered, individuals can buy pot from a licensed dispensary in Oklahoma. The state allows patients to purchase up to 2.5 ounces of usable cannabis at a time and up to an ounce of concentrate. An individual may also purchase up to 72 ounces of edible or dried products infused with cannabis visit the company website for more info.

Before opening a medical marijuana dispensary, a business owner must apply for an ordinary business license in his or her town. Then, the business owner must submit a Certificate of Compliance with the Oklahoma Medical Association (OMMA) for each location. In addition, dispensaries must register with the state secretary of state and the tax authorities. They must also register with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control (OSBNDC).

There are several regulations that must be followed in order to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Oklahoma. The first step is to obtain a license from the State Department of Health. It takes at least one year to implement a statewide medical marijuana program. In addition to the state license, a business must have a doctor's recommendation. This can be done through a recommendation from your physician.

A successful medical marijuana dispensary must have a positive atmosphere that is conducive to a positive buying experience. This will ensure that customers are satisfied with the services provided by the business. In addition, the business owners should strive to create a comfortable environment that is conducive to a pleasant shopping experience. The establishment must be certified as a marijuana dispensary and have the appropriate insurance coverage to ensure customer safety.

A medical marijuana dispensary should have employees who are knowledgeable in the products they sell. Their knowledge should not only include the legalities and benefits of marijuana, but also the benefits and risks of cannabis. A patient's condition will determine the type of product to buy. Often, the medical marijuana dispensary will only offer a limited selection. But they should have plenty of options. And it should be easy to obtain a license.  Explore more details in relation to this topic here: www.medpharmok.com.

How to Open a Medical Marijuana Dispensary in Oklahoma

If you're planning to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Oklahoma, you'll have to make sure your facility is licensed and regulated. The state has strict rules regarding the sale of medicinal cannabis, so it's important to know how to get one. The first step is to apply for an ordinary business license for your city or county. You'll also need to register with the Oklahoma Secretary of State and tax authorities, and you'll need to get a license from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control. For more details on the topic, visit this site.

Once you've met the legal requirements, you can work with an Oklahoma medical marijuana attorney to expedite the licensing process. In Oklahoma, the minimum percentage of ownership of a medical cannabis dispensary must be 75% Oklahoma residents. If you're opening in a municipality, you will need to acquire a business license. However, if you want to operate a medical marijuana dispensary in another state, you can use a business license.

Once you've secured a license from the state, you can start acquiring the proper marijuana for your needs. You can purchase a medical marijuana card and purchase cannabis from dispensaries throughout Oklahoma. These dispensaries are typically open from nine in the morning to 6pm, though some are open until 10 pm. As with any retail business, you'll need to pay taxes. In Oklahoma, there's a 7% excise tax on all purchases, and some localities have laws about the sale of medicinal marijuana. These taxes are aimed at helping fund the state's general fund.

Before you can legally buy medical marijuana, you need to receive a certification from a physician. This is a free process and the first step in obtaining a license is to visit a licensed Oklahoma physician. Once you've received a medical marijuana recommendation from your physician, you can register with the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority. After registering, you'll need to create an account and provide all the required documentation. Check this link: https://www.medpharmok.com/ on the topic.

Before you can open a medical marijuana dispensary in Oklahoma, you must get a commercial license. The license is only valid for one year and will be valid for that entire time. If you're an adult, you'll need to go with a parent or a responsible adult. As a result, you can buy a legal medical marijuana in Oklahoma if you're over the age of 18 and have a doctor's recommendation. Knowledge is power and so you would like to top up what you have learned in this article at: https://www.britannica.com/science/marijuana.

The first step to opening a medical marijuana dispensary in Oklahoma is to obtain a medical marijuana recommendation from an OK physician. Veriheal has been licensed since April and is among the few doctors in the state to treat patients with medical marijuana. Once you have a recommendation from your physician, you can register with the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority and begin the process of finding a licensed physician in the state. Once you've done this, you'll need to register with the OKMMDA and fill out the required paperwork.

‘Biggest marijuana bust of all time’? No, just legal hemp, attorney says after Pawhuska police seize 17,000 pounds

An interesting report – are we going to see a lot more of this ? How will states deal with police depts?  They could end up with expensive lawsuits if they aren’t careful

…/…

The 17,258 pounds of plant material seized by Pawhuska police this week was industrial hemp, a product that’s legal to possess or transport nationwide, according to documentation from the purchaser and an attorney involved in the case.

Hemp and marijuana are products of the cannabis plant, but the former contains none of the intoxicating chemical compounds of marijuana and has been made legal in the U.S.

Pawhuska police seized the shipment Wednesday morning while it was en route to a Colorado business and jailed the occupants of the truck and a van accompanying the shipment on complaints of trafficking marijuana in excess of 1,000 pounds, according to jail records.

Pawhuska police did not respond to multiple requests for comment since the arrests and seizure.

The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control was called to the traffic stop Wednesday, but the Pawhuska Police Department is the lead agency in the investigation.

“We don’t know if it is marijuana. We don’t know if it is hemp,” Mark Woodward, a spokesman for the OBNDD, said Wednesday.

The difference between the two can be apparent from visual inspection for those who know what they’re looking for, but only a chemical test can determine for certain whether cannabis plant material has a low enough threshold to qualify as hemp. Authorities in Oklahoma had taken the material for testing, but results were not available Friday.

James Baumgartner, president of the Colorado-based purchaser of the shipment, provided documentation showing the majority of the plant material tested at or below the federal threshold of three-tenths of 1 percent THC content for hemp. Cannabis that becomes medical and recreational marijuana, by contrast, typically has THC contents around 15 percent to 20 percent.

Baumgartner said Panacea Life Sciences ordered the shipment of hemp from Kentucky because the company’s needs were beyond what the 2018 hemp harvest in Colorado could support.

“Kentucky does a better job than just about every other state,” Baumgartner said. “What the state does is take very good control over the farming element. They quarantine it; they test it; and they certify it before they will let it be sold commercially.”

Baumgartner said a Pawhuska Police Department representative yelled at and hung up on one of his employees who called seeking information.

Osage County prosecutors said Thursday they had yet to receive an investigative report from Pawhuska police.

Pawhuska police reportedly stopped the truck in the city for failure to stop at a traffic control signal. Tadesse Degefu Deneke, 51, of Mobile, Alabama; Andrew Ross, 29, of Aurora, Colorado; David Melvin Dirksen, 31, of Comstock Park, Michigan; and Farah Warsame, 33, of Cleveland, Ohio, were arrested on trafficking complaints, according to jail records. They are scheduled for a court appearance at 3 p.m. Tuesday in Osage County District Court.

At issue is the THC content of the plants in the shipment, said Colorado attorney Mark Robison, who represents one of the involved entities. He said officers believed the seized material to be marijuana because of a field test.

Oklahoma News: Oklahoma Attorney General Hunter Charges Alleged Drug Dealer, Howard Timken, Jr. with First Degree Murder

New Post has been published on https://is.gd/P05G4S

Oklahoma News: Oklahoma Attorney General Hunter Charges Alleged Drug Dealer, Howard Timken, Jr. with First Degree Murder

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter has filed first-degree murder charges in Carter County on a Duncan man after an investigation for allegedly selling a lethal dose of heroin that killed a woman the same day she purchased the drugs.

According to the affidavit, Howard Timken, Jr., 36, admitted to selling a gram of heroin and approximately 1.5 grams of methamphetamine to Kimberly Ford in the early morning of May 18, 2017, hours before her death.

An interview with a witness who accompanied Ford to purchase the drugs the day she died said after she picked up the drugs in Duncan, she injected herself with what the witness believed to be a fatal dose of heroin and methamphetamine while on the way back to Springer.  Approximately 10 to 15 minutes after taking the drugs, the witness said Ford said she ‘felt weird’.

When they arrived to Springer, she began ‘nodding out’.  The witness then drove Ford to an Ardmore hospital, where she died later that day.  The medical examiner ruled her cause of death to be methamphetamine toxicity.

Attorney General Hunter said his office continues its commitment to working with statewide law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute drug dealers.

“Drug dealers, who prey on addicts and operate illicit enterprises, are making a calculated decision, knowing their actions could result in the death of another person,” Attorney General Hunter said.  “This atrocity is fueling the ongoing opioid overdose epidemic that has claimed thousands of Oklahomans.  Charging drug dealers with first-degree murder when justified by the facts sends a message to those engaging in this criminal trade to stop or face dire consequences.

“I appreciate the work of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and the Stephens County Drug Task Force for assisting in the investigation.  Additionally, I thank Carter County District Attorney Craig Ladd for helping us prosecute this case.”

Attorney General Hunter is pursuing charges under a law he authored in 1989 while serving as a member of the Oklahoma House of Representative.  The late – Sen. Larry Dickerson, D-Poteau, co-authored the bill.  The legislation amended Oklahoma law to make the taking of a life during unlawful distribution or dispensing of controlled, dangerous substances or trafficking illegal drugs eligible for first – degree murder.

To read Senate Bill 404, CLICK HERE.

“The actions of the cold, ruthless drug dealers, who haunt our streets, are motivated by one thing, profit,” then-Rep. Hunter said when the bill was introduced in the House of Representatives.  “I believe they will weigh the risk of death against their profits.”

All defendants are innocent until proven guilty.
