Hi,

Federal investigators have uncovered a laundering scheme in which Chinese middlemen are cleaning money made from fentanyl sales on American streets. Who’s involved? Asian gangs, Mexican cartels, and possibly unsuspecting Chinese investors looking to buy real estate or invest in a family member’s education.

In San Francisco, the Highway Patrol and National Guard are stepping in to address a serious and very public fentanyl problem.

Also, according to a USDA report, the value of hemp grown under protection has taken a nosedive, dropping from $824M to $238M, down 77% in one-year's time. In fact, the numbers are down in all hemp categories. I blame the FDA for the oversupply as we all expected to hear guidance on CBD long ago.
