The Navajo vs Illegal Chinese Marijuana Grows – Stranger Than Fiction

Let’s start from the beginning. There’s this guy named Dineh Benally, who’s a controversial political figure within the Navajo nation. He has leased roughly 400-acres of plots on the land there and then fenced off the area. Then – brought in a bunch of greenhouses, imported immigrants from Asia, Mexico and of course from the Navajo youth as well to come work on these farms. Allegedly, the farms grow Hemp – but some of the workers confessed saying that they primarily grow cannabis. Yet here’s where it gets interesting. While growing cannabis is illegal on Navajo land – growing Hemp is really not even a law there. In other words, there is nothing to legally allow them to get a warrant to check it out.
