A MILLION JOINTS DON’T JUSTIFY RAIDS
Re: “Pot raids extinguish a million joints,” Aug. 25.
According to the article, it took the RCMP, municipal police and the Canadian Armed Forces four days to capture 10,000 pot plants — a million joints, they gleefully proclaim.
I did the math and a million joints works out to about 250 kilos.
I could easily fit that into the trunk of my car.
There is mention of the use of three Sea King helicopters in finding these evil weed-growing sites.
I am appalled at the amount of money and resources used to find such a minuscule amount of the dreaded herb.
Methinks it would be way less hassle and a lot cheaper to just buy it on the streets of Victoria.
Marijuana is not ever going to go away.
Stopping its production is like trying to stop the tide — it’s not going to happen.
Marijuana is a most benign drug. Perhaps these huge resources should be directed at crystal meth, which is surely not.
