About 60 suspected human trafficking victims had been smuggled across the border "with the promise that they would have a good-paying job and a place to stay," officials said.

Deputies executing a search warrant in the Central California city of Merced on Wednesday found about 60 suspected human trafficking victims working at a black market marijuana facility, officials said.

    Ah, the black-market weed business.

    The same fine folks who poisoned their customers with vitamin E acetate turn out to also be into human trafficking.

    Whee.

    Californians, we have legal weed in this state, and it’s cheaper than ever. It’s also not full of glass beads, lead, oregano, fentanyl, rat poops, Aspergillus mold, or glyphosate.

    What a weird concept to have to designate that it is “blackmarket” … not complaining, its just still setting in.
