Chinese Investors with 'Suitcases Full of Cash' Buying US Farmland to Grow Black Market Weed

It's no secret that Oklahoma's farmland is changing hands rapidly, and not for the traditional crops of wheat, corn, or cotton. Since the legalization of medical marijuana in the state 8 years ago, Oklahoma's farmland has become a hot commodity for those looking to grow cannabis, with a significant number of these buyers being foreign investors, primarily from China.
Oklahoma, once celebrated for its picturesque landscapes and fertile fields, has sustained generations of farmers with income and provided Americans with essential food.
However, the Oklahoma fields of green are now a sought-after real estate commodity, generating interest from around the world.

"How did they get the "suitcase" cash into the US?" Money is made in the US by selling licensed/legal medical cannabis they produce to interstate black market buyers, this is where the "suitcases full of cash" are coming from....no one is smuggling greenbacks into the US. "They", it's not just Chinese, there are more American citizens over producing in legal states and selling illegally interstate than any particular group of people from overseas.. This is just another reason to decriminalize cannabis federally in the USA.

Not sure if you are familiar with how marijuana is grown, but its not done on open land. Its in greenhouses under climate-controlled conditions in specialty-formulated soils or hydroponic systems to maximize yields in as short a time period as possible.
