WHAT SIZE OF JOINT IS THAT?

Dear Editor:

Re: RCMP target grow ops, Burnaby NOW, June 13.

Please say this is an error.

"In a press release, Cpl. Jane Baptista of the Burnaby RCMP noted the 
plants would have made more than 192,000 joints."

Just do the math: 192,000 divided by 341 plants equals 563 joints per plant.

The grow was in a house so the plants are indoor. Health Canada 
documents show indoor marijuana plants equal 30 grams per plant. 563 
divided by 30 equals 18.76 joints per gram.

What has Cpl. Jane Baptista of the Burnaby RCMP been smoking?
