It's almost as if the RCMp is having a sort of contest with all the other detachments to see which one can break up the largest grow op in Canada. I got this ideal from the last night's newscast on CTV,after roughly 30 million dollars worth of pot was discovered just outside of Moncton & the RCMP spokesman said he wasn't sure if this was the largest seizure
If it is a contest,I am wondering what the prizes are.

The plants were as big as trees and they had to use a bucket loader to harvest the stuff. Two Asian males were arrested for this,part of a larger group who were growing it in massive quantities here in the province. Yes,the mounties do a good job.

The local druglord here only made it to grade 3[Porky Blizzard],and he had the only Hummer in town. He's still on the loose,too,with a Canada wide arrest warrant on him. We could use Dog,the Bounty Hunter up here

We certainly don't need the thugs that act as bounty hunters in the US up here. Also, since marijuana should be fully legal, should these guys be charged for growing it at all? Actually, if we weren't rooked into this moronic war on drugs, these guys likely wouldn't be growing it because there'd be no money in it.
Why are the cops busting grow-ops anyway? We have a meth-amphetamine problem, we have an oxy-contin problem. Why are they wasting resources on something that's less harmful than alcohol?
It's time we got our priorities straight in this country and if Bush and his little buddies want to huff and puff about shutting down the border, let 'em. They'll re-open it in less than a week when it hits them in the pocketbook.

Ahhh, but Marijuana is not fully legal, Rev. Last I checked, Canada still was a state of law. Thus, those possessing or growing marijuana should be arrested.

Why not though? Because the oil and cotton lobbies say so? Because the US government is incapable of understanding science and puts pressure on other countries to follow suit? Because making criminals out of people for growing and smoking a harmless plant has become a huge industry?
The RCMP would protect society better by ticketing jay-walkers than busting grow-ops. I realise that doesn't fit your puritanical worldview, Nascar Nero, but so little does...

In some areas you can carry a limited amount, personal, and not get busted. Our cops have better things to do, and I'm glad. There is a whole bunch of car thieves, thieves in general, rapists, child abuctors et al which IMO are a little more dangerous than someone kicking back with a case of the giggles and munchies.

Answer - Canada is not "a state of Law." The marijuana laws were deemed unconstitutional by a high Court. Another Court then resurrected those laws. According to law the second Court had no authority to do so. I'd much rather see the RCMP busting corrupt politicians then a few enterpeneurial individuals. Of course the RCMP love the photo op and the opportunity to suck up to the DEA. It's very embarrassing to see these police waste their time oppressing our people like this. The laws were imposed with no study or contemplation. Too many have already suffered

Two more large pot busts this week-one totalling 19 thousand plants and the other,9 thousand. And,yes,this is part of the illegal Asian mob that seems to be the mastermind of our growops.Whether or not this drug should be legalized or not,these are low base criminals and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Generally,you can walk around this city smoking a joint and nobody says anything about it,and the local cops are pretty cool .our big drug problems here come from the sales of prescription drugs on the streets and Crack.
