Operation Green Merchant refers to a significant crackdown by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in 1989, targeting the indoor cultivation of cannabis. This operation was not just about seizing plants; it was a comprehensive effort to dismantle the infrastructure supporting cannabis growth. By focusing on businesses that sold hydroponic equipment and other cultivation supplies, the DEA aimed to cut off the resources necessary for indoor cannabis farming. The term “Operation Green Merchant” has since become synonymous with the federal government’s intense efforts to control and limit cannabis production during that era. Over the years, as public perception and legal frameworks around cannabis have shifted, the operation is often cited in discussions about the evolution of cannabis policy in the United States. Today, with the growing acceptance and legalization of cannabis, Operation Green Merchant stands as a historical footnote, illustrating the complex relationship between law enforcement and the cannabis industry.
