I contacted the police who advised me that they knew of the marijuana production there but were unable to do anything because it was a legal grow operation. I find this absolutely astounding. This particular "legal" grow is within 50 yards of an elementary school, directly across from a park and next door to a church. Where are my rights? The children's rights? The neighbours' rights? To go to school, work and church without smelling the obnoxious odour of marijuana, without the fear of possible grow-rip violence from organized crime? To be able to walk freely along the streets of Canada and live in communities where safety for our children is the number one priority for government? Neil Biggerstaff - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
