Six charged after suburban drug busts

Big groan on the ‘keeping us safe’ from pot.  I’ll leave that for the moment though.

My big question is, where these people here in the Yukon to work in certain local restaurants? ... hmmmm?  Just asking.

Time to deport these criminals, before organised crime gets any more organised here.

Any of these guys eligible for deportation in this lot?

Let’s deport Bill Huebshwerlen - I can only wish.

Here’s a quote straight from a Marijuana Grower’s Forum regarding Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s upcoming plebisite in California, in November 2010, where the citizens of California will vote whether to regulate and tax marijuana rather than leaving the production, distribution and profits to, mainly, criminal organizations.  I think you may be interested to know who actually wants pot to remain illegal.  Here is the cut and paste from the forum, where one guy is responding to the calls from growers to prevent legalization:

“right now im seeing alot of opposition from people who are using the law to grow for profit.  people who want to keep the current prohibition around so they can continue to play pirates and get fat off inflated prices.

if it were legal and there were commercial grow opportunities, they would be at the behest of the city or county, there would be committees and boards set up to regulate how many/ how big. i hear people saying dont legalize it, its going to cut into my profits as a grower, well to them i say tough.”

What is going on in Whitehorse with Chinese nationals coming up here to run drug rings is emblematic of the problem of leaving ridiculous profits in the hands of criminal organizations.

Legalize small grows and tokers will grow their own or perhaps buy it from their friend who is growing.  Or they will buy at the liquor store and the society will make some money too, just like we do off alcohol!  Stop leaving the profits to criminals.

By the way, if this was bagged bud they confiscated, as opposed to growing plants, it is actually worth $300 an ounce on the street.

$300 x 14 lb x 16 oz = $67,200

So this bust may have actually been a lot bigger than suggested in the article.  However, if it were just plants, a lot smaller than suggested in monetary value.

Again with a pot bust,maybe get the coke, crack and other terrible s..t off the street and I’d be a bit more impressed. I don’t support organized crime but pot is hardly a danger to society today. Gateway drug my a…
