GUESS WHO IS MOST PLEASED ABOUT THIS ERADICATION POLICY

Guess who is most pleased about this eradication policy. The 90 to 95
per cent of growers who will never be caught.

This colossal waste of time and money is not only failing to fix
things, it is, in fact, outrageously counterproductive.

Think about that: if the police busted twice as many grows this year
as last year, they would still only get about 20 per cent of them.
One fifth, probably less.

And every time they bust one grow, indoor, outdoor, small or big, all
they do is make the ones they don't catch that much more valuable!

Not only is the illegality of marijuana the very thing that makes
growing it so lucrative, the police are subsidizing the entire
industry by busting only a minority of them.

The cops know it too. They know they are subsidizing criminals
because the evidence to support what I say is widely available and
simple enough for even the dullest 10-year-old to understand. Not And
don't tell me the cops don't make the laws. The police have been
lobbying government for decades to keep the war on certain drugs going.

They lobby constantly, with our tax dollars, no less, and have way
too much influence over our governments at all levels.

They like to tell the public that this is somehow interfering with
organized crime or preventing pot from reaching your kids, but
informed people know better.

Every year the cops bust more and more people, and every year pot
becomes more widely available.

Is this the Canada you want to live in? A country where cops help
gangsters and deprive people of valuable medicine? Because that is
the Canada you are living in right now.

By the way, is using the military against Canadian citizens even
constitutional?
