I was also hopeful that the public nature of this operation would help to dispel the myths and lies surrounding grow-ops perpetrated by the police and other fanatics. Your recent article about the opposition to this Pot Factory was very disheartening. This ganging up by the police, city and ratepayers' association against three defenceless, sick and suffering people is particularly disgusting. What happened to the tolerant and caring society that we like to claim we are? Obviously it does not exist within the boundaries of New Westminster. I don't know what it is going to take to get some sanity and common sense into the heads of these people but I would advise the Pot Factory to make a complaint to the Human Rights Tribunal. Its mandate is to combat prejudice and discrimination and this situation in New Westminster stinks of prejudice and discrimination. Gary Mills Terrace, B.C. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
