SELL POT PLANTS, DON'T BURN THEM
Re: "RCMP expect to destroy 30,000 marijuana plants," Sept. 2. The
province might want to ask the RCMP to hold off burning any of the
expected 30,000 marijuana plants.
The street value of one joint is $5. That makes those 30,000 plants
or three million joints worth $15 million.
Amend the laws around the plant, the government can license growers,
then sell it through the Liquor Distribution Branch under "local
products." There is a nice tidy sum to spend on whatever the
government wishes, like law enforcement initiatives that make sense.
