Local and federal law enforcement officials shut down an incorrectly registered marijuana growing site in Wilson, Oklahoma, on Oct. 20, seizing 15,000 plants and hundreds of pounds of the drug.

The raid on Purple Light LLC is just one in a series in the state, where the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) is closing down marijuana growing operations at a rate of two or three per week.
