Is Human Trafficking Really Fueling the Cannabis Industry? – The Story Behind the Flashy Headline

Before we get to the story, I would like to talk about why I’m covering this topic. Firstly, I have been aware of the horrors of human trafficking for over fifteen years. My partner – who’s a psychoanalyst – treated trafficked victims when she started out. I worked on their campaigns to raise money and it was then when I learned that Human Trafficking is the second largest illicit market in the world trailing only after drug trafficking.
