The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office’s recent social media post about cannabis is an eye-opener, not about the dangers of legalized cannabis but about how backwards thinking still is in Oklahoma.
Earlier this month, the sheriff’s office opened with this: “Nothing to see here in Oklahoma, just another group of illegal aliens. Ten illegals in this group believed to be trafficked and working off their debts to the cartel on marijuana farms here in Oklahoma. Oklahoma already has a larger black market than California. If Oklahoma passes recreation marijuana, hold on to your hats…”
What they’re saying is that these people (and yes, they are still human beings regardless of their country of origin) were forced to come to the state in a form of indentured servitude. They are victims, not criminals, but go off…
Cannabis is so popular that even though it’s legalized for adult use in 21 states and all but 13 have a medical program, a black market still exists. Meanwhile, for cardholders, weed here is all but free if you’ve been to a dispensary lately. If there are giant farms trafficking not only cannabis but human beings on your watch then you’re really not much of a watchman. I guess that’s what happens when you spend your time and money on bigoted social media posts instead of the job.
“Murder, human and child trafficking, sex trafficking, home invasion, rape, burglary, robbery and on and on… We are seeing Mexican cartel, Chinese criminal syndicates and other foreign criminal interest move into Oklahoma like never before…Every State is now a Border State, and it’s about to get much, much worse.”
If you’re going to complain about people being here who “don’t speak our language,” then at least use yours competently. There are numerous errors here in fewer than 150 words worth of scare tactics. Maybe the education system wouldn’t have failed those at the Johnston County Sheriff’s Office so badly had there been more funding from, say, legalized cannabis…
