What are the RCMP thinking?? The last time I checked, growing marijuana was highly illegal and considered a grow-op. With all of the problems that stem from illegal drugs and drug use, I am totally baffled why someone was not put in cuffs and charged with manufacturing a controlled substance. I'm so frustrated, steaming mad, confused and in disbelief as to how this whole thing has been handled. What kind of precedent does this set for other wanna-be growers, manufacturers and future drug dealers? How is it that one person gets charged and jailed for this type of illegal activity and the other does not? It was not just one marijuana plant, it was 60 plants. Yet the police are arresting people on the street for a bag or a joint. This is ludicrous and I think this should be investigated. Why were there not charges laid? This guy should be treated just like every other person that is busted for growing marijuana. Shawn Cardinal - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
