\/\/illy Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I'm too lazy and short of time to find the old thread right now but has anyone else noticed that the news articles on CBC don't seem to mention pot anymore? I read one this morning that only mentions stolen property. Now, I'm not really much of a consiracy theorist but, the first thing that popped into my head when I read about this case (originally) was what impact it might have on the Liberal's decriminalization bill. Combine that with the political geography of this case, and the fact that suddenly pot seems to have been dropped from the cause, and it's really got me wondering what the hell is going on. I'm sure there's stuff I'm missing right? (It's early and I haven't had a coffee.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 it was only 20 plants, and the dude who shot the cops was well known as a cop hater (an unbalanced and dangerous one at that)... the police went to his property over a pickup truck the unbalanced guy had leasedregardless, the Liberals voted for legalization amongst themselves on Friday... doesn't change the legality for now but is a step in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 i heard their large scale operation turned into one small room off to the side... originally, they made it out to sound like the whole place was full of plants...

CyberHippie Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Yeah 20 plants is hardly a grow-up! Jebus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I also recall seeing a message from the families of the slain officers asking people (the media?) not to focus on (or politicize) the marijuana aspect of the incident. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Yeah 20 plants is hardly a grow-up! Jebus! But it is 6 plants more than what constitutes cultivation with the intent to traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyK Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Political slant? Check out the cartoon that appeared in the Victoria Times-Colonist 2 days after the murders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 my issue with the decrim bill is this: the law will have essentially no problem with the users and the drug itself...you can smoke up and have a bit of it, but how do you GET it? the increase of fines to the grow ops makes it an even BIGGER crime to grow, essentially increasing the criminalization of the drug, making the need for them to be larger to outweigh the consequences, thus pushing the little guy, the homegrower, out of the market and in essence MAKING it an issue of organized crime...and driving the quality of herb way way way down...i forsee the chemical intake to increase with unflushed, uncured plants. we're gonna have way mroe weed that smells like chemical fertilizers and baby poop. i think the government is again misguided. more people should grow mushrooms...they're legal until dried...so there are loopholes...

paisley Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I believe the current Liberal discussion is trying to look at government distribution like the liquor stores... where the Pot Stores will get it, I don't know... someone will get a license to growhopefully they're learning their lesson with the bad weed they've grown the past few years... hire stoners to grow the weed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaggerLee Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I wonder if the new Liberal talk of legalization will mean the end of the older talk of decriminalization. I sure hope so... like Canned Beats said, the proposed decrim bill is seriously flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 We should all just learn how to grow our own plant. I'm not sure what kind of yeild you can get from one plant, but if you could get enough from one or two plants, to last until your next plant is ready, then that would be perfect. Problem solved. Is anyone really concerend over someone growing a plant or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I saw the reduction in use of the idea of a grow op , in just 24 hours after the incident.I love the cartoon..Man why can't they just leave us alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 more people should grow mushrooms While they are delicious on pizza and one of my favourite past times, a house full of fungus is one of the most rotten smells going. :: Phew!!! Not a healthy environment. Although i guess you could grow outdoors seasonally. Haven't tried that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Large Marge Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 more people should grow mushrooms...they're legal until dried...so there are loopholes... Hey there Beats! I thought that was a U.K. law... are you sure that's true in Canada? If so, why can't I buy fresh shrooms in the headshops here like I did in England? (40 grams of Columbian for 5 British Pounds - and the shopkeep doubled us up for free!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
