Article From The Calgary Sun Is So Dumb That Reading It Could Cause Brain Damage.
Prohibitionist Drivel At Its Worst.


(Marijuananews note: This is just breathtaking. The best two word explanation for marijuana prohibition is "bad journalism."

Most Canadian papers are far superior to those in DEAland in their coverage of marijuana prohibition, but there must be something in the water in Alberta. Canadian whiskey perhaps.

However, this article does show the collaboration between Canadian and DEAland narks as they conspire against the sovereignty of Canada and the liberties of the people in both countries.

Canadians beware.)

BUDDING PROBLEM - CALGARY POT GROWERS COPIED IN U.S.

Californian cops know the most potent pot on their local drug scene comes from the basements of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

(Marijuananews note: There is absolutely no evidence to support this statement. First, Canadian marijuana makes up a tiny percentage of the DEAland market.

Second, there is no data comparing average potency of California indoor and/or outdoor marijuana with Canadian, much less that from Calgary.

Third, being indoors in Canada is just like being indoors anywhere else. Four walls. One ceiling. One floor.

Fourth, most of the seeds come from Vancouver, and/or Holland, and produce the same plants wherever they are grown, and the methods are the same everywhere. 

Fifth, there has been a large DEAland indoor growing industry for years, especially in California.

Sixth, with all due respect to my dear Canadian friends, there is some excellent weed grown in Western Canada, mostly in BC, but it is no better than that grown all over DEAland. I have even had excellent weed grown in Washington D.C., very near the White House.)

And they knew it had to happen.
(Marijuananews note: And I suppose this reporter read their minds.)

Growers down there are starting to emulate the experts in Calgary's drug underworld, by trying to grow their marijuana indoors in hydroponic grow operations, hoping to match the Calgary perfection.
(Marijuananews note: What makes this article all the more amazing is that the same "reporter" took just the opposite line last year. Short term memory loss?)

Which is where Calgary city police drug unit officers, Det. Pat Tetley, 46, and Det. Steve Walton , 42, are about to make a difference.

They'll soon be travelling to Los Angeles to give presentations to a seminar of 5,000 law enforcement officers on how to detect and bust up indoor hydroponic pot operations.

In the past four years , Tetley and Walton have been attending the California Narcotic Officers Association training institute -- which has been a brain-storming think-tank for drug enforcement officers for more than 30 years.

Previously, the pair were learning from the experts.

Now, they're returning as experts to teach others.

"Historically, California had to deal with outdoor marijuana growing operations, but now they're being inundated with indoor operations," said Walton.

Crooks are going indoors because the cops are hitting their outdoor grows too hard.

(Marijuananews note: First, the "crooks" are the ones breaking down doors and murdering homeowners and stealing their life savings.

Second, there is still a huge amount of marijuana being grown outdoors in California. The size of the plots has generally been reduced, but this year some enormous plantations have been destroyed.)

"They asked us to take our expertise down to them," said Walton.

Calgary's home-grown pot has turned up as far south as Arizona, where it's so potent, traffickers in the U.S. will trade 1 lb. of Calgary bud marijuana for 1 lb. of cocaine.

(Marijuananews note: Yeah, sure. This line has become a staple of prohibitionist propaganda on both sides of the border to justify marijuana prohibition in Canada.
See

If Calgary weed makes it as far south as Arizona, it has probably been bricked and is far less valuable.

If marijuana really did bring the same price as cocaine in Arizona, that would just be proof of the stupidity of marijuana prohibition. I can't even find anyone who knows the price of cocaine.)

Tetley, a 23-year veteran, and Walton, a 21-year veteran, will spend a week teaching law officers how to bust the indoor pot growing operations.

(Marijuananews note: Then they can go to D.C. and teach the Pentagon how to make nuclear weapons. Are the Canadian taxpayers paying to send these two narks to LA? That is something that a real journalist would want to know, but then he couldn’t get a job working for the Calgary Sun.)
