A VICTIM OF POT

Dear pot grow-op owners:

Venting your grows while I'm out running stinks and pollutes the air I
breathe.

This is an epidemic of which the provincial and municipal governments
are being negligent in the fight against organized crime.

I'm a runner and I run in my community 30-50 kilometres a week, and
during most runs I come across five or more grow-ops venting.

This interferes with my right to breath in fresh air and compromises
my health and well-being.

It appears as though these grow-ops are so sophisticated that they
vent into the sewers so that it is nearly impossible to determine what
home they are coming from.

With the governments' complacency in choosing not to seek out and shut
down grow-ops within our communities, they're saying it's okay.

Growing marijuana is not a victimless crime.

It negatively affects communities, property values, and sends out the
wrong message to the children being raised within those communities by
saying grow-ops are okay, and we have to accept that they're everywhere.

I will not let organized crime take over my community.
