Of course. Don't get me wrong, Toni. I'm not suggesting that people-trafficking or child labour doesn't happen. It does happen and it's a major problem. A major evil.
I just don't see the logistics of using trafficked kids to grow cannabis as making any sense. As I've pointed out, it's not a labour intensive process and most of what little work there is can be automated very cheaply. Introducing forced labour simply increases the risks for sod all gain.
And again, let me stress, I'm sure there probably are some idiots doing it, but it's highly unlikely to be widespread.
