Brooklyn woman admits to nationwide drug scheme involving Capital Region

A Brooklyn woman faces decades in prison for her role in a nationwide marijuana and money laundering conspiracy that stretched from California to the Capital Region.

Onisha Smith admitted she was part of an organization that shipped marijuana and THC from California to places across the United States.

This happened between 2017 and 2022, according to the U.S. District Attorney’s Office.

Smith also faces hefty fines and up to a lifetime of supervised release.
