“Alberta’s Law Enforcement Response Team thought they had made a big find: a drug bust of more than 1,600 marijuana plants. They held the trashbags proudly in front of media,” but the test results came back…negative

Although the raid took place July 30, the test results only came back this week (guess nobody wanted to volunteer to smoke the daisy?) and proved the plants were not marijuana.  I am sure the lab-workers were both disappointed and amused as they began unpacking the evidence bags, looking around at each other in the laboratory bewildered, smirking.  “The guys believed they were dealing with a sub-strain of marijuana,” Konowalchuk said. “There are some similarities to the (marijuana) plant when you look directly at the plant. But are they identical? No, they’re not.” Not by a long shot. “(Even so) the guys thought they we dealing with a large grow operation and they responded accordingly.” We are sure they were very excited and proud of themselves until the test results came back negative.

    Neither extend nor acknowledge the so-called authorities jurisdiction. Easier said than done. Tell them that you will file a les pendant action against each individual infringing upon your liberty. “Excuse me, officer, but I am going to have to take this personally. I will need your legal name and address because I am going to sue you.”

    Max, I love you man, you and Stacy are the king and queen of financial TV. But don’t you know, weed will take down the global ponzi scheme faster than silver at $45 an oz. They can’t just let that stuff grow anywhere……

    “There are some similarities to the (marijuana) plant when you look directly at the plant.”

    :lol: Yea, they’re both green and um … plant-like. The taxpayers are supposed to be paying for trained law enforcement personnel and what they get is harassment and crappy service. It sounds like it’s time to wind this war down boys … we all lost to a bunch of dopers.

    Canada spends billions of dollars on enforcement (police, courts and corrections), and over $1 billion in direct health care costs every year, dealing with illegal drugs.
    I agree with Gabor Mate that this money could be better spent.

    Wow, I guess I’d better quit sharing the oregano from my garden with my co-workers. Really, it IS oregano. And basil. And bay leaf. None of it will is mind altering but it makes a nice spaghetti sauce. (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it)

    What a bunch of idiots. Even if it was cannabis sativa it was nowhere near ready to harvest because the raid was July 30. Weed doesn’t even go into flower until the daylight shortens about a month later. Then it needs another 6 or so weeks to ripen.

    This operation clearly shows what kind of morons work for RCMP (M stands for moron). It is both scary and said. Said because they are skillfully wasting our money on so called operations. Scary because the same kind of brainless morons always serve the evil, and they will put a bullet through our heads without asking questions.

    been smoking marijuana for 24 years, the reason people in power hate it so much, and come out with crazy theories about how harmful it is, is because….. if you smoke it! you might snap out of the brainwash! and start asking questions

    Lawmakers believe the lie that Mary Jane is the gateway to drug addiction, Actually alcohol addiction is the gateway.

    Think toast, french, may be correct, as I remember two old friends that robbed an off license/liquor store one Christmas time. They filled a van up to the brim, got caught, but when they appeared in court they were only charged for the theft of 2 cases of beer. They were laughing at the slap on the wrist fine, but were pissed that the cops had a better Christmas than they did. They could have at least shared it.

    So the plant on the left is an EVIL plant and the plant on the left is a GOOD plant. Isn’t that kind of fucking ridiculous?

    Alcohol is the brainwash drug! Why do you think is is legal, the extra tax revenue aside. Fermenting moonshine for sale is illegal because of the tax evasion aspect and so one doesn’t peddle toxic methanol. Hey, they can’t have drinkers dying, they just want to keep them brainswashed and to keep from maybe (@oman)” asking questions.”

    all ‘prohibitions” have there root in: banking leverage , how people spend earnings derived from money lent in to existance , and trade deficits .
    the wisky tax / rebellion illistrates this perfictly the tax was to pay for bonds sold to banks in new york and colected from wisky producers out west who had relized that they could hold grain off the market and stablize there prices and then ferment the surpluses and sell it as booze. all good for them but in new yuk the taverns would take in local banknotes and then use them to buy wisky and sence these notes were WORTHLESS back home the supliers would then go to the banks and demand the specie money that was aledged to back the notes …………..this caused bankruns the wiskey tax was intended to return this money to the banks through repayment of the bonds lol but people back then even farmenr out west were no fools and no one payed the tax and it is telling that the only response was from the newyork bankers and alexander hamilton himself who HIERED mercenaries out of the newyork slums and invaded another state raid ing the farms of the most vocal and prominent oponents of the tax dreging them in neck chains to washington who greeted them like a cat draging a dead rat in to the house the representitives from the state in question having let it be known that an army was right at that verry moment forming to come get them back and they had better not be harmed in the mean timeor there would be hell to pay ………………..they should have went to new york and returned the favor and had washington not sent the ‘prisoners’ home prior to that army marching they may have keep in mind here that there was no federal army at the time and the states in fact effectivly controled the mustering of troops wich was how the whole thing got started in its sidways movement toward civil war right from the get go state nulification resulted from a combination of this incedent and the ‘sedition act” resulted in “state nulification” and a ballence of sorts
