In the last column, I criticized the strict parenting techniques the RCMP suggested at a DARE presentation as being unrealistic. But even more off target were the opinions about substance abuse at SRHS. First off, to the parents and administrators that were shocked at the actual amount of substance abuse going on, I have to say, "Get your heads out of the sand." As for the statistics and views presented, I felt they were very misleading and biased towards one vice in particular while letting others off the hook. [continues 451 words]
Dear Prime Minister, Friday was a sad day for Canadians and those of us who want to be assured that illegal drugs are kept away from our children and grandchildren. This latest ruling from the Supreme Court is yet another example just how out-of-touch with reality these people really are. Becoming a lawyer does not mean for one second that a person is smart, and being appointed as judge has more to do with having the right political connections than anything else, it surely doesn't imply intelligence. In fact this latest ruling actually shows just how unintelligent these appointees really are. [continues 326 words]
Dear editor: Regarding RCMP Const. Ed Turgeon's April 16th column, hazardous marijuana grow operations are a direct result of marijuana prohibition. Legitimate farmers do not steal electricity to grow produce in the basements of rented homes. If legal, growing marijuana would be less profitable than farming tomatoes. As it stands, the drug war distorts market forces such that big money grows on little trees. Rather than continue to subsidize organized crime, Canadian policymakers should ignore the reefer madness hysteria of the U.S. government and instead to look their own Senate for guidance. In 2002, the Canadian Senate Special Committee on Illegal Drugs concluded that marijuana is relatively benign, marijuana prohibition contributes to organized crime, and law enforcement efforts have little impact on patterns of use. In the words of Senator Pierre Claude Nolin, "Scientific evidence overwhelmingly indicates that cannabis is substantially less harmful than alcohol and should be treated not as a criminal issue but as a social and public health issue." Thank you for your consideration. Senator Nolin's quote can be verified at: http://www.parl.gc.ca/37/1/parlbus/commbus/senate/com-e/ille-e/press-e/04sep02-e.htm Sincerely, Robert Sharpe, MPA Policy Analyst Common Sense for Drug Policy www.csdp.org Washington, DC [end]
Dear editor: Since millions of people across North America choose to use the relatively safe God-given plant cannabis (kaneh bosm/marijuana) and are responsible citizens, people should not be quick to have their cannabis-growing neighbors caged (Indoor Marijuana Grow-Ops, April 16, 2008). When cannabis is re-legalized and cultivation is regulated , nearly every fear and problem cited disappears. In fact, once cannabis prohibition is repealed, RCMP Ed Turgeon's biggest fear will be job security. Truthfully, Stan White Dillon, Colorado [end]
SAINT JOHN - She has grown from a Weed into a Thorne, so surely she has a sense of humour. But a Quispamsis woman's patience is running thin with New Brunswick's Department of Motor Vehicles, which is refusing to give her a personalized license plate that bears her maiden name. Sharon Thorne has even brought officials a copy of her birth certificate, but they still refuse to allow her to attach a tag that says "WEED" to her beloved 2001 Mustang convertible.

How would you feel if your neighbour was growing marijuana in their house? Not your business? Not your problem? Don't want to get involved? Scared of retaliation? Don't want to be a rat? These are just some of the excuses that growers want to hear and the main reason that they set up shop in communities just like yours. Getting involved doesn't mean you are putting a big sign in your window telling the growers that you are blowing the whistle on them. Getting involved just means that you don't accept your community being over-run by people who want to make easy money by taking advantage of those around them. We all have a responsibility towards safe homes, and safe communities. [continues 407 words]
Minister Wishes To See Funding Directed At Getting Tougher On Organized Crime And Drugs Will millions in federal funding translate into more police patrolling the Valley? A provincial policing committee and the Liberal government will meet next month to determine how to use the $8.8 million the federal government has injected into New Brunswick to fight crime. The federal Conservative government announced last week that the $400 million placed in the new Police Officers' Recruitment Fund, a third party trust fund for new policing initiatives, will mean $8.8 million for New Brunswick over the next five years.

Methadone treatment will be expanded to four additional regions under the province's new health plan, unveiled Tuesday by Health Minister Mike Murphy. Services will become available in St. Stephen, Edmundston, Campbellton and Bathurst. The Health Department could not provide a timeline for rollout of the methadone initiative, but the health plan is being implemented in phases over the next four years. Saying that addictions are "destroying the lives of many New Brunswickers," Murphy vowed the province will do more to fight the growing problem. The new services will make it easier for people to obtain the care they need closer to home, while also addressing ballooning waiting lists, he said. [continues 541 words]
HAMPTON - A 19-year-old Rothesay man learned the hard way that in the eyes of the law, passing a joint constitutes drug trafficking. Ryan James McDevitt, a former employee of Angelo's Pizza in Quispamsis, admitted to possessing marijuana outside his place of work on Jan. 4 and breaching probation at the same time by failing to refrain from the use of drugs and alcohol. He was originally charged with trafficking since Rothesay Regional Police spotted him passing a lit joint to a young woman to have a drag. The charge was downgraded to simple possession in Hampton provincial court on Tuesday. Two females at the scene during McDevitt's break from making pizzas were dealt with through the alternative measures program. [continues 69 words]
Pending Supreme Court Decision May Help Determine Legality Of Searches For Drugs, Contraband, Explosives Serious legal and constitutional questions surround RCMP tactics involving baggage searches at Canadian bus stations, train stations and airports. This practice has gone on in Canada for several years now, as part of the RCMP's national Jetway program. Jetway targets people travelling with drugs, contraband, weapons or explosives by plane, bus or train. It's part of a larger RCMP program that also deals with people travelling in private vehicles and trucks. [continues 1118 words]
On a wellness survey conducted a year ago, the NB Department of Health asked high school students questions on healthy food choices, physical fitness, mental wellness, and smoking, alcohol and drug use. The results showed SRHS students are smoking, drinking and taking drugs more frequently and at a younger age than previously believed. The survey showed 18 per cent of SRHS students are regular smokers, while 46 per cent have tried tobacco. More than three-quarters of SRHS students 78 per cent reported having a drink of alcohol that was more than a sip. [continues 164 words]
The Brutal Truth Parents Often Enable Their Children's Substance Use SUSSEX About 40 people got a refresher on effective parenting during an awareness session on substance abuse at Sussex Regional High School March 12. Organized by the school's Parent School Support Committee, it was in response to a survey done last May by the NB Department of Health which probed high school students on everything from healthy food choices and mental wellness to smoking, alcohol and drug use. It was the statistics showing SRHS students are smoking, drinking and taking drugs far more early and often than both parents and administrators might have thought that prompted the gathering.

Communicate with your child's teachers, says Sussex Regional High School principal Dan McKiel. "Teachers often see changes in students, but they are reluctant to say. They may be trying to tell you something. Ask them, because a teacher is never going to come out and say 'I think you kids is doing drugs.'" Do I search my child's room? "I would," said RCMP Cst. Norm Adams, citing the argument that a child's room is still part of a house owned by the parent, who pays the bills to run that house. [continues 573 words]
The federal government's new national anti-drug strategy is an important step toward building healthier and safer communities, says Fredericton's police chief. Barry MacKnight said police chiefs across Canada have been asking for a national anti-drug strategy for many years. "To see it coming to reality now is a great thing for all our communities," said MacKnight, the chairman the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police Drug Abuse Committee. The national anti-drug strategy is being promoted through an advertising campaign. [continues 187 words]
The manager of a health clinic that deals with drug addicts every day says addiction among kids is up, and she has some theories as to why. Alcohol is the most widely abused drug among young people, said Margaret Dykeman, a University of New Brunswick nursing professor and manager of UNB's community health clinic in downtown Fredericton. The province's 2007 student drug use survey indicates that 50 per cent of students from grades 7 to 12 used alcohol in 2007. [continues 570 words]
Organized crime has a foothold in New Brunswick, says the RCMP officer in charge of criminal operations for the province. But Chief Supt. Wayne Lang said people shouldn't change the way they live. "People shouldn't be so naive as to think that we do not have organized crime in the province," he said in a recent interview. "Should they be concerned? I would say yes. Should they be afraid to walk the streets of New Brunswick? Absolutely not." The Criminal Intelligence Service New Brunswick in its 2006 annual report revealed that more than 50 organized crime groups were operating in the province in 2005/06, with the majority of New Brunswick groups being independent or local drug-based organized crime groups, not ethnic-based criminal groups.

Ward 3 Inner City Youth Worker Says Politicians Must Tackle Problems If They Want to Make a Difference SAINT JOHN - Donnie Snook wishes there were no crime or drug problems in Ward 3. But in a strange sense, he was pleased to see the issues at the top of poll results as the most important concern for residents in the ward. "Now that we've identified it as a major issue, we've taken the first step in fixing it," said Snook, the director of the Inner City Youth Ministry located in the south end. [continues 785 words]
Re appeal dropped against grow-op gang: For decades we keep getting the PR machine telling us the redcoats are so wonderful, such a "tradition." In reality, what we have is Dudley Do-wrong. "Police also manipulated court documents, arrested people without grounds and failed to follow established rules for processing the accused after arrest." Is anyone actually surprised by this? The more we hear about the RCMP, the more we hear about bending or breaking of rules, all in the name of "Justice." [continues 125 words]
DEAR ABBY: You were right to tell "Just Saying No" that his pot-smoking classmates could be headed for addiction or other problems. I worry that marijuana poses more risks to teens than they or their parents recognize. More kids need professional help kicking marijuana than for all other drugs combined. It is not a "harmless" drug. School failure, which you mentioned, could be only the first of many problems daily pot smokers may experience. Researchers have a long way to go in understanding the complexity of brain function, but we know that illicit drug use changes the developing brain. Many young people smoke pot before their brain development is settled, and their chronic use of the drug can affect certain centers in the brain that control emotion and reason. [continues 136 words]

We tend to take the law for granted, but sometimes its origins deserve a little thought. For example, it's something of a puzzle why certain narcotics were seen as dangerous and criminalized in the early 20th century when before 1908, there were few restrictions placed on the sale or consumption of narcotics. For example, tonics, elixirs and cough syrups containing opium were widely available. As well, cocaine was used as an ingredient in hair dressing, wine, children's toothache drops and an obscure soft drink that shall remain nameless. [continues 615 words]
Judge Says Crown Did Not Prove Man Started Fire While Cooking Drugs On Stove This much is known: * James Robin Peterson was in the house in Dieppe when it caught fire on June 29, 2004. * He was close enough to the flames that his face and upper body were badly burned. * The fire started because someone was cooking marijuana oil on the stove and the volatile mix of cannabis and fuel burst into flames. These are the unknowns: * Did Peterson live at the house or was he merely a visitor? [continues 661 words]
SAINT JOHN - Grade 7 students of the city's north end schools have some vivid imagination when it comes to depicting what can go wrong for teenagers using drugs and alcohol. Sgt. David Arsenault has been using this technique with students for his DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) for seven years now, but this time he has decided to place their posters in the hallway of the detention centre at the City Hall perchance they strike a cord with the visitors of the facility.

A dozen teens will add a lot more to their education this weekend than just reading, writing and arithmetic as they delve into the world of drug addiction. Positive Heart Living and the city police's Hughes Street neighbourhood action team are holding an educational and awareness course on youth addictions at the Victoria Health Centre today. Bonnie Priest, founder of Positive Heart Living, said the session is designed to give youth leaders the tools they need to recognize the warning signs of addiction, both in their peers and in themselves.

GRAND MANAN - The RCMP is cracking down on drug dealers on the island. "We are sending the message: Don't do it, it's not acceptable and if you do do it, you will go to jail," says Cpl. Andy Scott. Police arrested a suspected drug dealer on Tuesday following a surveillance operation. Scott said RCMP confiscated two small baggies of prepackaged weed and a cellular phone from the man after witnessing the deal. The man will appear in Grand Manan provincial court on March 20 to answer charges of trafficking marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking. [continues 289 words]
In Our View: It's Better to Be Prepared for What's Ahead It's reassuring to know that the Fredericton Police Force is keeping an eye on drug trends in the city -- especially when it comes to the highly addictive crystal meth. Although crystal meth has yet to establish a toe-hold in Fredericton, the force says it's ready for its arrival. Fredericton Police Chief Barry MacKnight, who chairs the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police drug abuse committee, said the force has the framework of a strategy in place to deal with crystal meth.

Crystal meth has yet to establish a toe-hold in Fredericton, says Fredericton police Chief Barry MacKnight. But the force is ready just in case. "Crystal meth -- we're not seeing it," MacKnight said. "Crystal meth seems to have crested to a large degree in Ontario and, I think, they see some in Quebec. We have the odd little pockets here and there." The bitter-tasting, synthetically produced crystalline powder, or "meth," can be taken through the nose, injected, smoked or dissolved in a glass of water. It's designed to stimulate the heart, increase breathing and keep the user awake. [continues 224 words]
Greetings from Ottawa. Canada's government is committed to giving police the tools they need to crack down on crime. This is why we have recently introduced three new pieces of legislation that will respond to the problems posed by youth crime, introduce mandatory minimum sentences for serious drug crimes and combat the complex and serious problem of identity theft. Bill C-25 will amend the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) to allow courts to consider deterrence and denunciation as objectives of youth sentences. This change will give judges the flexibility to impose appropriate punishments with the objective of preventing serious offences committed by youth. Bill C-25 will also change the current pre-trial detention provisions in the YCJA by making it easier to detain youth in custody prior to their trials if they pose a risk to public safety. [continues 256 words]
To the Editor, MP Moore is correct that a longer sentence for drug dealing will punish the dealer more. However, based on 18 years of experience as police officer in Michigan, I know that each drug dealer arrested will be replaced within days. They accept as a condition of employment death; a long prison term is a puppy compared to death. The war on drugs, war on people strategy the USA has pursued for a trillion dollars has resulted in drugs being cheaper, stronger and much easier to find. Why or why does MP Moore want to jump off the same cliff? Retired Police Detective Howard Wooldridge Washington, DC (via canadaeast.com) [end]
To the Editor, MP Rob Moore and law enforcement unions will benefit from mandatory minimum sentences (Cracking Down On Crime With New Legislation, Dec. 8, 2007) but Canada will suffer, just like the United States has. Rational people are working hard to change those ill-conceived laws in America because they are harmful on every facet. While Canada's 2002 Senate Committee on Illegal Drugs unanimously recommended to regulate cannabis (marijuana) the same way as alcohol, mandatory minimums will do the exact opposite. Mandatory minimum sentences will please prison industry unions, too, but at the cost of making Canada less safe, not more, and statistics in America prove it.

Police have been forced to drop charges against a man caught with a cache of 28,000 pills because the drug -- which has the same effect as LSD and Ecstasy -- is not illegal. RCMP and Canada Border Service Agency officers raided a Moncton home two months ago and seized a shipment of pills worth $1-million that they thought were LSD and Ecstasy. But the people who made the pills altered the drugs' chemistry just enough to beat the law -- the drug they found no longer matches any on the list of restricted drugs under the Controlled Drug and Substances Act. So charges were dropped against a 41-year-old man for possession of illegal drugs. The pills contain a "designer drug" is known as Piperazine, a chemical used to make industrial cleaners, made in clandestine labs in Europe by black-market chemists, police say. [end]

Substance abuse is a growing problem in New Brunswick communities, according to the RCMP. Police say more youth are exposed to drugs every day, and more people become addicts. But some area residents say they don't plan on letting drugs take hold of their community. "We're going to be proactive and arm ourselves with knowledge and strategies in the fight against substance abuse," said New Maryland Mayor Frank Dunn. "There's a high risk of substance abuse among teens and adults in the province of New Brunswick. It's not much of a problem in New Maryland right now, but we want to make sure it never becomes a problem in our community." [continues 444 words]
"There are facts in two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance." Hippocrates, Law Whether Nobel Laureate or first year university student, any scientist worth their salt knows that objectivity is the foundation of their work. With that in mind, I read this week's article on the Insite facility in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside with great concern. In a nutshell, Insite operates under an exemption from the Criminal Code that allows them to deliver a safe-injection and needle exchange service without fear of prosecution or police intervention. It is consistent with the Government of British Columbia's "Four Pillar Approach" to combating the scourge of drug addiction through prevention, treatment, harm-reduction, and enforcement. Furthermore, it is entirely funded by the Portland Health Authority of British Columbia. [continues 626 words]
Few people would recognize 9-tetrahydrocannabinol without its abbreviation as THC. Even as THC, for many it remains an esoteric chemical substance - in fact it is the active molecule in marijuana and it is this week's featured drug in University's Used and Abused. Of the three drugs covered so far, caffeine, alcohol, and marijuana, marijuana is by far the least common. Nonetheless, a full 16 percent of the population between ages of 15 and 64 has used marijuana this year. If you break that demographic down, the population between 15 and 24 has marijuana usage approach 30 percent annually. Of that group, four percent use it daily. Despite the fact that it's illegal, marijuana must have a lot going for it; no other illicit drug comes even close to rivalling weed as the world's favourite flower. [continues 935 words]
Rocky Paul has been using medical marijuana to control pain and other discomforts for the last seven years. The St. Mary's First Nation resident would like to see the rules eased up a bit so that those who need the drug can get it more easily. Paul said as many as 30 pages of documents have to be filled out once a year by patients and their doctors in order to continue to qualify for the licence. "What marijuana does is it helps me through the day," he said. "I smoke maybe a couple of joints a day; I really need it." [continues 532 words]
Marijuana with an estimated street value of more than $50 million has been seized by RCMP in the province over the last several weeks. Although final figures are still being tallied, RCMP said Wednesday that as many as 20,000 plants have been ripped from the ground by the police force during its annual marijuana-eradication program. That adds up to 10 million joints, said Sgt. Luc Breton of RCMP J Division's drug-awareness section. [continues 527 words]

Victoria Janis Robichaud, 36, was sentenced to five years in prison Friday. She pleaded guilty after threatening to use a syringe while robbing a local gas station, and for leading police on a chase that went through a school zone and reached speeds of up to 160 kilometres an hour.

People are looking over their shoulders after large seizures of marijuana plants from their neighbourhoods. Brian Myshrall of Hawkins Corner, near Millville, one of the areas impacted by RCMP raids last week, said marijuana grow operations are troublesome to many in the community. "I have a couple of small kids and they play in the woods and stuff," he said. "It is not good." On Aug. 13, District 7 RCMP based in Woodstock, along with the force's marijuana enforcement team, seized 492 marijuana plants during a series of raids. Locations involved were in Dumfries, Springfield, Hawkins Corner, Hartley Settlement, Lower Knoxford, East Centerville and Fielding. [continues 449 words]
At least a quarter of the marijuana grown in New Brunswick finds its way into the hands of organized crime, Staff Sgt. Robert Power of the RCMP's drug enforcement section said Monday. Power said that while 75 per cent of provincial grow operations are "mom-and-pop" productions, the remainder goes to marijuana brokers. "Anything that's 100 plants or more is significant and, eventually, the marijuana finds its way to marijuana brokers, or individuals known in the drug milieu to be purchasers of the production of these grows-ops."

ST. STEPHEN - Another 800 marijuana plants, or 400,000 potential joints, were destroyed on Thursday as the RCMP continued Operation Sabot. Sgt. Greg MacAvoy of the RCMP said there were about six rural areas targeted by officers Thursday, including Oak Haven and Rollingdam. "Nothing too close to town today," MacAvoy said, referring to St. Stephen. "They were the more out-of-the-way areas." MacAvoy said RCMP flew by helicopter Thursday over areas it suspected would have marijuana plants. There were no arrests made. The police are continuing their investigation. [continues 275 words]
OROMOCTO, N.B. -- A Canadian soldier accused of trafficking marijuana while serving at a New Brunswick army base sold a small quantity of pot to an undercover officer last year, a court-martial was told yesterday. Bombardier Garry Kettle of the 4 Air Defence Regiment at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown was charged in April, 2006, during a military investigation into drug activity on the sprawling army base near Fredericton. Sergeant Cameron Hillier, a member of the military's national drug-enforcement team, told the hearing that military police had been receiving information about drug use on the Brunswick base since May, 2005.

OROMOCTO, N.B. - A soldier who sold a small quantity of marijuana to an undercover officer was convicted Wednesday of drug trafficking, prompting his lawyer to introduce a motion claiming abuse of process. The motion, introduced during the second day of a court martial for Bombardier Garry Kettle, alleges the soldier at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown, N.B., was entrapped and seeks a stay of proceedings. Navy Lt. Christa MacKinnon, the prosecution lawyer, said the guilty verdict issued by a military judge would be erased if the motion is granted. [continues 352 words]
New Variety Of Marijuana More Beneficial To Growers, Harder For Police To Find A new import from British Columbia is taking root in New Brunswick forests and the RCMP aren't too happy about it. "It's a new type of marijuana plant called B.C. Bud and we're finding it in New Brunswick," says Kent RCMP Sgt. David Mazerolle. This particular species of plant is harder for police to see from the sky because it's only a couple of feet high. It's also more efficient for those who grow it because it produces as many buds as a plant more than triple its size. [continues 558 words]
MONCTON (CP) -- A new import from British Columbia is taking root in New Brunswick forests and the RCMP aren't too happy about it. "It's a new type of marijuana plant called B.C.

Crime Stoppers and the RCMP's marijuana enforcement team is asking residents to report any suspicious activity that could be related to marijuana grow operations. The team is telling citizens that marijuana growers usually move into a new neighbourhood in the spring, and rarely try to make an effort to become a part of the community. Shortly after moving into the home, sounds of working tractors, chain saws or gas trimmers come from the yard as they clear the lot. The marijuana enforcement team is asking citizens to call crime stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS if they have information or they suspect an outdoor marijuana operation in their neighbourhood. [end]
The numbers don't paint a clear picture of marijuana use in this country, but they're enough to make people sit up and take notice at least. The UN's 2007 World Drug Report found 16.8 per cent of Canadians between the ages of 15 and 64 used pot in 2004 -- the highest rate among developed nations. By comparison, 12.6 per cent of American respondents said they have tried pot. Britain (8.7), France (8.6), Germany (6.9), and especially Japan (0.1) all reported much lower rates than Canada.
