A few weeks back, I wrote about the big dog and pony show the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics put on when they, along with the backing and support of Governor Stitt, busted some properly-licensed marijuana grows that were allegedly selling all of their flower on the out-of-state black market.

Although the big crackdown won’t do anything to combat the flow of illegal marijuana going out of state, it did highlight a couple of longstanding Oklahoma law enforcement traditions, like...

1. Selective Law Enforcement. Even though there are hundreds, if not thousands, of licensed marijuana grows in Oklahoma owned and operated by people of all different races, castes, and nationalities that may or may not be selling a lot of their stuff on the black market where it's more profitable, Oklahoma law enforcement made sure to selectively target those grows owned by a long-time media-approved "boogie man" – The Chinese Mafia!
