POT GROWING DOESN'T MEAN THEFT

It's a shame the RCMP attempts to justify perpetuating cannabis
(marijuana) prohibition by associating cannabis cultivation with robbery.

Since millions of people across North America choose to use the
relatively safe God-given plant cannabis and are responsible
citizens, people should not be quick to have their cannabis growing
neighbors caged.

When cannabis is re-legalized and cultivation is regulated, nearly
every fear and problem mentioned by the RCMP associated with growing
the plant disappears. In fact, once cannabis prohibition is repealed,
law enforcement's biggest fear will be job security.
