Lots of Hmong grow weed in the legal states now.
They have finally found a niche, poor buggers.

I hasten to add - there is a lot of sacrifice, raw-guts bravery and hard slogging work, in this story too.SternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 11:00 am “As night fell on March 10, 1968, with communist forces clearly drawing near the mountaintop (known in agency parlance as “Lima Site 85”) and bombarding Phou Pha Thi with artillery, the men on Phou Pha Thi warily went to sleep after cabling Udorn Air Base, “See you later . . . I hope.”
No hope.
There is a lot of treachery in this story. From start to finish.
