Illegal marijuana farms are risky for workers who don’t make much, California sheriff says
Workers on large, illegal marijuana farms in Riverside County such as the one in Aguanga where seven people were slain early Labor Day often live in plywood shacks as they tend the leaves that bring someone else millions of dollars – a lifestyle that could cost them their lives, Sheriff Chad Bianco said.
There have been eight incidents with 14 homicides in Riverside County this year alone that authorities have linked to illegal marijuana-growing operations.
“The amount of money that we know is being generated by this – they are certainly not making it,” Bianco said of the workers in an interview Wednesday.
