$15M POT BUST WILL MAKE LITTLE DIFFERENCE
Re: Record pot bust like winning the 'World Series,' police say, The
Standard online edition, May 30.
After the 30,000-plant Barrie brewery bust back a few years ago, it
would be wildly unrealistic to think that this bust -- though
significant -- would have any impact on the availability or price of
cannabis, locally or internationally.
Meanwhile, the growers who compete with these guys for customers are
celebrating. So even when the cops make a big bust, the public still
loses out.
Remember, the "World Series" only exists in North America, so the
euphemism is wasted.
