GROW OPS NOT A FIRE RISK

Re: Surrey fire chief saying that medical pot poses a fire risk.

Out of the thousands of illegal grow ops in the country, how many
have actually caught fire in the past year? Two? Three?

Out of the hundreds of legal medical grows in the country, how many
have actually caught fire over the past 10 years? One? Zero? I would
guess zero, because if even one of these federally licensed grows had
caught fire, it would have been front page news across the country as
the police and firefighters shouted it from the rooftops.

This looks like just another smear campaign designed to stigmatize
medical marijuana growers into the same "evil" category as
non-licensed growers. Unfortunately, a well-indoctrinated public will
likely believe it.
