now on bbc news, as more us states move to legalise marijuana, there has been a rush to cash in on the business. in new mexico, a bizarre boom and bust of marijuana has become a cautionary tale. this is the latest front of the boom in the us. an operational native american land. the suspects were found in a farmington motel where they occupied 19 rooms. police found around £2,000 of marijuana plants and substances in multiple rooms. it is evidence that human beings are not here anymore, theyjust beings are not here anymore, they just vanished. beings are not here anymore, theyjust vanished. in beings are not here anymore, they just vanished.— theyjust vanished. in the summer _ theyjust vanished. in the summer of _ theyjust vanished. in the summer of 2020, - they just vanished. in the i summer of 2020, hundreds they just vanished. in the - summer of 2020, hundreds of chinese immigrants moved to ship new mexico believing they were taking well—paid jobs on hemp farms. they found

themselves pay to unscrupulous entrepreneurs who took advantage of the confusing laws that govern this industry. another donation farmers are calling for help for illegally growing marijuana. as more us states move to legalise marijuana, there has been a rush to cash in on the business as more us states move to legalise marijuana, people are cashing in on the so—called green gold rush. but some see the events in new mexico as a warning of things to come. this is a cautionary tale to our leaders, our policymakers, our lawmakers that if you don't carefully plan out your laws and regulations, it can cause a big problem. we trace the origins of this case a californian and explore how a similar crisis could be brewing in oklahoma. it's a goldrush or a curse, i don't know what you'd call it for oklahoma.

when you drive through here, the air is fresh, before the hustle and bustle. it's very mind—settling, it puts your soul at ease. bea redfeather has lived on her property in shiprock for 30 years. new development here is tightly controlled by tribal bureaucracy, but injune of 2020, when the navajo nation was struggling with the pandemic, bea was shocked to see a large—scale operation across the street. these non—natives came here, they picked the navajo nation to set up their shop. you wake up the next morning, boom, there's hoop houses. i'm not talking about one or two hoop houses, i'm talking about 25 hoop houses that were put up overnight. although medical marijuana is legal in new mexico, both hemp and marijuana are illegal on tribal land.

from a distance, you don't know what it is — you just see plants, until you actually zoom in and you realise, this is marijuana. the distinction between marijuana and hemp was central to the problems in new mexico. the cannabis plant has different kinds of by—products depending on how it's grown. the main difference is the thc level, the psychoactive compound that causes a user high. hemp has almost no thc and can be grown as an industrial crop for things like textiles and bio fuels. marijuana, on the other hand, has a high thc level and is considered a controlled substance. last summer, struggling with job scarcity amid the pandemic, hundreds of chinese workers left traditional immigrant enclaves in california and new york to find work in the cannabis boom.

irving lin made his fortune in california real estate. he saw the business potential in the green goldrush and helps connect asian—american businesspeople with investment opportunities in marijuana cultivation. a former civil engineer and never how farm official, he claimed he had the authority to issue hemp permits. a questionable assertion at best, it was still enough to get the farms up and running. but red flags were quickly raised.

you just see these massive operations, huge greenhouses, gates locked, you see cars coming and going at all times of night, most of them with foreign plates. it was very evident something very strange was going on in this community. brandon worked for benali as a security guard. there are nojobs, people couldn't go out of reservation to go to work. when he started it, it opened up a whole new financial situation for everybody. we had 38 fields and hundreds of employees. we had 38 fields and 800 of employees. when i noticed it going fishy was when i was not allowed on some of the fields. people were stealing the hemp out of the farms, they were getting high, some of them said they were getting headaches, and just by the look of it and the smell, it didn't add up. you people are like this hemp sre allowing this kind -

of violenc to our community. billy was confronted by shiprock residents who were concerned about the smell and the presence of out—of—state growers. tensions grew. you're a traitor! billy's mother margot feared for her son's safety. things got bad. shots were being fired down on the farms, protesters were running people off the road. i didn't know if he was going to come home. i didn't know if i was going to get a call from the police department. i started telling my son, "you need to get out of there, "i don't want you to get caught in this big mess."

but he kept saying, "well, the boss hasn't paid me yet." as the farming operation sprang up around her, bea redfeather led fierce protests against the so—called hemp business. it was a blue sedan that was guarding the hemp field in front of my house. two non—natives got out and waved their assault rifles. that's what took me by surprise, that this can't just be hemp. this is what it's come down to, i never had to have these firearms in my residence, but when it comes to your family's safety, you go to extremes to protect them. the suspects were found staying in a farmington motel where they occupied 19 rooms. police found around 2000 pounds of marijuana plants and substances in multiple rooms.

less than six months after chinese growers arrived in new mexico, police raided and shut down dozens of farms. what they found there was high—grade marijuana, not hemp. it is sort of eerie that the evidence of human beings that are not here anymore, theyjust sort of vanished. people had to pick up and leave as fast as possible. clothing hanging here and food in the kitchen speaks to how quickly people thought they had to get out of here. there were some people back here. we are looking for records, information and evidence, controlled substances, including

marijuana, thc, drug paraphernalia, scales, packaging material. police arrested 17 chinese workers trimming the buds off marijuana plants in a hotel. 0thers living in trailer homes packed up and left overnight. itjust looks like someone turned and ran and just left everything behind. they were later released as victims of human trafficking. of human trafficking. some of them believed they were just cutting flowers. the boss has been charged by the navajo nation

with assault and other offences and there's an open federal investigation into his farms. he's insisted that what he did it was for the good of the navajo people. but others say this was just the result of greed. he declined to be interviewed for the programme or to provide a statement. we have somebody who decided to make up their own rules and circumvent established law in the navajo nation. there wasn't legal business license, we're talking of thousands of asian immigrant workers, we don't know if their payroll was taxed, or even if they got paid. this is just a cautionary tale to our leaders and policymakers and our lawmakers across the united states that if we don't carefully plan out the laws and regulations, it can cause a big problem. archive: the police - narcotics detail raids this field of marijuana.

wherever a part of a marijuana cigarette is thrown, seeds grow up and, if not checked, become a plantation. in the us, cannabis was officially outlawed in 1970 alongside drugs like heroin and lsd. but as public opinion shifted, local governments have been pushing to legalise cannabis in opposition to federal law. california is about to vote again on decriminalising marijuana. in the 1990s, dozens of us states started to legalise cannabis for medical use. colorado and washington became the first to allow recreational use in 2012. today, most states of legalise cannabis on some level but the restrictions vary from state to state. this has made the legality of cross—state transportation, sales and cultivation more complicated and it fuels a black market across the country. after the fiasco in new mexico,

many chinese investors lost their life savings. but a new opportunity is on the horizon. for irving and his clients, it was an obvious choice to move to oklahoma, the hottest weed market in the us today. it's kind of a wild, wild west. 0klahoma didn't set any limits on the number of licences they would issue, you can drive down the street and find dispensaries all around us. jane and vic grissom obtained one oklahoma's first licences and run a dispensary outside of oklahoma city. we have three containers we grow in, some of these grow houses are 10,000 square feet.

last year, 0klahoma issued more grow licences than any other state. nearly 10% back of its population are registered to use medical cannabis. the big—leaf plants tend to be indicas, they relax people and the thin—leafed plants are sativa, they give you energy and focus. oklahoma is known to be a very red state. the interesting thing is the number of elderly people who are interested in cannabis now. more people are accepting of it as a medicinal plant. it smells really good. a little lemony... in 0klahoma, a cannabis licence only cost $2500, far less than tens of thousands of dollars in states like california. cheap land and electricity brought an influx of out—of—state growers and competition. there's huge benefits we've found, and we're proud of it

and we feel we're helping somebody. but the market's turned completely upside down. it's grown so fast and so much, in the state of oklahoma, there's no way they can visit all of these places and check them out, so you're inviting the illicit players into the game. behind the fence here, there's a trailer house that i don't know how many people live in. this isjust rural land available for houses, but they have enclosed their area and have their own special powergrid in there. in this sleepy rural town, a group of chinese american growers started a massive marijuana farm. its owner declined to be filmed, but proudly showed us around his new cultivation rooms.

at the farm, a dozen chinese farm hands work around the clock. for them, this is living the american dream. the owner says his farm does but it's only legal to grow marijuana in oklahoma for consumption in oklahoma, and some fear the market may be flooded. if they made it totally recreational, there's only 4 million people in oklahoma. not even. there's no way they can consume all this. i just want them to operate

under the same rules we operate under a comment. it's difficult to compete with people who don't follow the rules. in april, the bureau of narcotics detained ten people from china and taiwan for allegedly selling bulk marijuana on the black market. this medical marijuana farm is legal in the state - of oklahoma but stayed at and say their business dealings are not. - authorities have ramped up efforts to curb activities but this lawyer says his chinese clients are law—abiding growers. there is an element of marijuana that ends up in the black market, and every state that has legal marijuana, i think there's a perception that every grow produces the maximum yield and that's just not the case. my clients love america,

this is not foreigners invading 0klahoma, theyjust taking an opportunity. the perception there is something that is wrong with that is really biased. lin says he brings new clients to marijuana farms in oklahoma every other week. he advertises safe and abundant water and electricity. to chinese growth that we met in oklahoma is confident that the market will keep growing. but going forward, oklahoma's cannabis market will not be the same. it's happening in oklahoma, the prices are dropping. unless this state to tighten things up and really enforces the rules, i don't think it's going to get better before it gets worse. it's a gold rush or a curse, i don't know which, in oklahoma. as public opinion in cannabis in the us quickly shift

towards decriminalisation and legalisation, dineh benally and irving lin wanted to get ahead of the curve. to me, they are overregulated. it's for the people. last year, a poll showed a majority of adults support marijuana legalisation, the highest percentage

in five decades. with a democratic president in office there has been a strong push to legalise marijuana on a federal level. disproportionally, young men and women of colour have been arrested and jailed for even carrying a small amount of marijuana. i believe the time has come to end the federal prohibition on marijuana in this country. but president biden has tread carefully on marijuana reform. the president supports leaving decisions to the states. he also supports legalising medicinal marijuana. whether full legalisation happens or not, lin believes the chinese committee will continue to invest in cannabis.

the navajo community, however, has been left deeply divided. i have been shot at through this window twice. this damaged completely, my headlights, they don't work any more. i didn't want this to happen, i wasjust in it so i can work. billy tried to stay away from home as much as possible to protect his family. everyone at one time was for the hemp because they lost theirjobs in the pandemic. all of a sudden, things changed, people had a change of mind, the smell, the odour, loud noises, people didn't like that. everybodyjust talked against each other and i don't

think that's going to be corrected for a while. redfeather has replaced dineh benally as the new farm board president. for her, healing won't come easy. i know the community numbers are still very upset because now we're battling the clean—up. you can see it here, it's an eyesore. a lot of people ask me, why are you doing this, why do you want to shut it down? hemp is good. and i know the difference between hemp and marijuana. i'm not against hemp, i'm against how dineh benally and that farm board came up with the hemp license which is not a pro through the navajo nation government.

at the end of all of this, with the community are stepping up, protest after protest, we were successful. feeling rejected by his own community, billy now works out of town. because of all the stuff that happened to me, ijust don't feel welcome any more, iwould rather live in my vehicle somewhere else where nobody knows me. in april 2021, the oklahoma senate approved legislation to ensure disclosure of foreign investment in marijuana businesses. more states across america are expected to legalise recreational cannabis but on tribal lands, it's unclear if a similar policy shift will happen any time soon.

hello. like it or not, we've reached that turning point in the year — summer solstice, the longest day, on monday with nearly 19 hours of daylight in shetland. just over 16—and—a—half across the channel islands. but, across some southern areas, you will be lucky to see sunrise or sunset. it is going to be a fairly cloudy and wet start to the week here. brightening up as the week goes on as things turned a bit cloudier and more showery further north as we go through the week and, to start with rather cool, too. an area of low pressure to the southwest of us which has thrown up some weather fronts to take us into the start of monday across southern counties of england. it's here where there will be more persistent rain

on the south coast first thing. not a cold start here, but chillier elsewhere with clear skies away from this zone of thicker cloud in southern scotland producing 1—2 showers. that will push into northern england slowly as we go through the day, sunshine either side of it. but notice how the rain develops more widely in southern counties of england as we go through monday, inching up close to the south and east midlands, parts of east anglia, too, maybe even close to southeast wales. but much of wales and the midlands stays dry and bright, still got the northeasterly breeze here and, where the rain is falling, temperatures will struggle to get above the mid teens. a few showers in northern england, but towards the western coast here, west wales and western scotland, we could get to around 19—20 celsius during the afternoon. now, through monday night, rain still at times across these southern counties of england — that will stop temperatures from falling, but clearer skies, midlands, wales, northwards means it's going to be a chilly start to tuesday morning. the first night after the summer solstice,

we could even see a touch of frost through some shelter valleys in the grampians. that's because we've got an area of high pressure building up from the azores — wrong side of us, though, because around it, we're bringing in some cold airfrom the north as we go through tuesday. cold relative to the time of year, of course, but it will help to clear away the rain eventually from the southernmost counties of england. long, sunny spells for most to begin with, clouding over a touch through the afternoon across england and wales as the cloud builds up and spreads out. not as chilly for some of you as monday will have been. another cool night across england and wales as we go into wednesday. here, the best of the dry and brighter weather, but clouds spitting in from the northwest will bring in a few spots of rain or drizzle. even with that cloud, though, slightly milder air, 18—19 celsius across the north, but 21 further south. thursday will bring that cloud further south — in fact, the end of the week cloudy for most with a few splashes of rain at times, but temperatures near average forjune.
