Shall we begin mrpg?

Why?

Maybe we are not hearing the whole story but... Far too often the cops bust a place with nobody home. Ever try hiding in the bush till someone shows up to do the picken?? Elementary my dear Watson.

where's Hubert road?

million dollars i highly doubt it

Hubert Road is north east of kelly road.
metalman.

thanks, metalman

Hmmmm $1000 a plant. better than growing tomatoes.

Was the "stuff" destined for Kalifornee this fall? Contradictions and hypocrisy. The way of the world.

I'm not sure that this will help the economic recovery, shutting down a successful small business.

whats worse the liberals taking us down or any party ?or puffing on a doob ? the crazies are in charge!!

The inmates are running the asylum.

That's the phrase you are reaching for.

Say hello to the temperance league 2010.
Same issue, different substance
Same busy body teetotalers.
Same archaic overbearing tyrannical policies.
Same old "better do as I say because I know what is good for you".

Next Time take a Hydro Lineman along, so he can remove the Drop from the House, no Power no Fun in the Dark.

I'm finding it hard to read some of these comments, but I guess when some people live in the higher class areas rather then the hood they can make such joke or mock the situation.

Do you really want the drug dealers feeling so welcome to come to PG because you'll all support them and make a joke of the successes of trying to discourage the drugs sales. People we know live in the hood and I didn't feel to unsafe visiting them, until recently! A drug dealer has moved in close by and believe me what goes on there is not something that I would want in my neighborhood nor the people associated with drugs hanging around. There are plenty of nice people trying to raise families in the hood and I'm sure they are just as happy as I am to read about any grow-op or drug bust that happens as well as the gangs being taken down.

Regarding all the grow-op/drug bust that have been happening lately - hats off to all involved with these successes, and thank you very much for doing every thing you can to try and make a safer Prince George.

Now if we could just get the government to put heavier penalties on the people involved with these activities instead of a slap on the wrist it would sure make all the time and effort that the people put into taking down these operations worth it.

Loki, no need to pout.

justathought is right.

Harpers Neo cons love grow ops busted. We are in the Harper years so I don't think we will see any changes till he is gone. The far right wing is running Canada right now so suck it up. One example is I distaste the whole gay thing. but I truly believe they have the right to marry. They fight hard to earn their rights and should be able to stage gay pride. I feel that it is the right of the women to want a child or to abort even though I have had a couple abort on me. I don't like it but I feel as if they have have that right since they fight hard to earn that right. Same with weed I mean it's a very conservative way of thinking to keep weed outlawed. The belt will keep tightening and slowly we will not be a democracy. See people don't vote only folks with money vote. They are conservatives. With that comes want and greed..

Many years ago I went to a party accompanied by a great girl. We didn't know who owned the place just there was a party so we went. A guy came around with a plate of pills, reds, blues, uppers and downers. My girl looked up sweetly at him and said "No thanks I'm on a reality trip."
It went right over the guys head. He replied"Cool" thinking she was on something else.
A very wise girl. It is truly amazing how many on this site think grass is harmless. Ever notice how many grow op/drug busts also find hard drugs, guns and lots of cash? Harmless yeah right. Ever seen a real pothead with a to do list?
Lets make it legal and what's next? Heroin, meth, crack.extasy, the rape/date drug because you are just hurting yourself right?
Half of the logging truck accidents were found to have drugs in their system. That makes me feel real comfortable on the road. How many other accidents are caused by drug impairment?
Grass harmless? tell it to somebody without a brain.
Try reality you might accomplish something.

We made alcohol legal.

We made smoking legal.

We made cars legal.

We made guns legal.

We made fatty foods legal.

We made McDonald's legal.

I think we made enough stuff that kills us legal. We do not need to die from another habit that kills.

This is a conservative view on it. Why let the criminal legislate drugs !

Well then Prince George better get busy and come up with some decent paying jobs. Other than 8 dollar, serving it right kinda jobs. To some people (who are sick and tired of the slave labor) are beginning to believe crime pays. At least there are no taxes involved. I'm not saying that pot is not harmless, I'm saying people are getting desperate and will do desperate things. Hell I just got a second dog. One outside and one in. Oh. and as far as jail, well this cheesy government is to busy with cut backs, do you honestly think that anyone from this grow-op will actually spend any time in jail. That just costs too much. I agree with you billposer. Isn't that about the size of it!

"Well then Prince George better get busy and come up with some decent paying jobs. Other than 8 dollar, serving it right kinda jobs."

Um, how about taking some responsibility for yourself and get off the Xbox and get an education and some training?

lol

I will state first. I choose to not use... I do not drink, smoke, or do drugs.

That being said... you CANNOT legislate personal choice, nor common sense for that matter. Prohibition did not work, and for any one of us to decide what is right for the next guy is wrong. I used to smoke pot, and I did inhale... lots of it! It did not lead me into harder drugs either ~ as I've never done them. It did not lessen my IQ, nor affect my health in a negative way. Who says it's wrong? And why is it wrong? Pot does not "turn" people into killers, it doesn't take their ability to reason away, it will not "make" you beat your wife, or children. (The biggest "thing" at risk is a bag of cookies!)
The psychology behind people and their drive to drink, or drug, or sex, or eat, or even work to excess is what we should be looking at. With drugs being illegal you turn a broken soul into a criminal ~ creating an even bigger problem. When you heal a broken soul the desire to engage in addiction disappears. This "war" on drugs will never be won, ever. So, what are we going to do differently to help humanity?

Iceburger ..... finally a well reasoned post!!!!!

There are too many people who want to stop things by making some rules against it.

Why??? Because it is the simple way. They really do not have it in them to be more effective.

They can then pat themselves on the back to say: "I did something about it. I told others not to do something and I can now take those that keep on doing it, despite what I say, and set them aside somewhere as outlaws."

They have typically not solved the cause of the problem. In fact, until one understands a problem themselves, they cannot solve it.

As Iceburger wrote: "The psychology behind people and their drive to DRINK, or DRUG, or SEX, or EAT, or even WORK to EXCESS is what we should be looking at."

The Latin phrase, corruptissima re publica plurimae leges translates as, "In the most corrupt state are the most laws."

Mr.PG, you pay for college and I'll go!

hammmy, the federal government hands out all kinds of training money to all walks of life, do some research, you might qualify for some. I like Iceburger's comments. Marijuana should be legal to grow for yourself in small quantities, or available through the BCldb. If the government grows it, or buys from qualified vendors, and ambitious gardeners grow their own in regulated quantities, the criminal element would be all but eliminated from the pot business.
metalman.

Hammmy, take responsibility for your own life. Don't expect others to do it for you.

The world does not revolve around you and your needs.

still misconceptions and lies.

Pot in and of itself is not harmful. There has not been one case of pot causing any physical harm and there is very little credible evidence that it causes brain damage. The only anecdotal negative effect is short term memory loss. That is only while under the influence.

There has yet to be anyone only under the influence of pot causing an accident. Any accident where pot was found at the scene or tested from the accused was a companion substance to alcohol. IMO alcohol should be illegal if pot is.

Comparing pot to "E" or heroin or cocaine is like comparing water to alcohol. They are both liquids, so they must be similar in other properties. Give your head a shake.

"Half of the logging truck accidents were found to have drugs in their system."
What drugs? There may have been pot, but it was not the only intoxicant involved, so you cannot point at pot for this. If at any time it is proven that pot was the only intoxicant, I will revise my opinion. Drug impairment is an extremely serious problem for the work place and for the roads. No, one should not consume any intoxicant before or during any work period. There is no defense for that regardless if it is "just pot" or what ever. After the work day is another matter and akin to have a nice cold beer at the end of your day. Still that is abused as well.

I don't see why so many are so vehemently opposed to a natural, unprocessed substance that only induces a controllable relaxed state and activate the appetite. Everything else is heavily processed and causes severe direct harm to the us3er and those around them.

The prohibition was initiated due to 2 things: hemp (not the same as pot) threatened the wood fiber producers due to superior fibers, and it was associated with non-Caucasians North Americans, especially far east immigrants, so it is a racist policy. Please look it up.

If you are against pot, then you are also against the advancement of an annually renewable fiber source in support of the old world paradigm of elite capitalists setting law for their own benefit and you support racist policy. I thought Canadians had a proud reputation of not being racist.

It is my choice to consume and I have that right to choose, the same as some prefer alcohol. Personally, I prefer not to associate with people who consume alcohol regularly. Their personality traits of sloven behavior, drooling and puking at the drop of a hat, aggression and uncoordinated actions offend me.

The only thing that is truly different is that alcohol is legal and pot is not. Laws can be changed, and that is what almost 60% (stats Canada) of Canadians want. That is not to say that 60% want to use or consume, they just see the absurd dichotomy of legal intoxicants versus illegal.

oh yeah, WTF is neo-con?
neo = new
con = convict or conservative

So is it new convict or new conservative?
Assuming the logical second choice, what is a neo-con and why must we be wary of them.

A neocon is the polite way of talking about zionists sympathizer within the conservative ranks without actually coming out and using the term and all the collateral it entails. A kind of plausible denial for those that would need an out to protect their reputation or career against the assault they would otherwise incur.

It was a term born of the need to narrowly identify the hyphenated 'conservative' ideological group involved in the 9/11 industry (ie the Project for a New American Century group, those in the lead of American political occupation for a tribal ideology) without the confusing implications of taring the larger and more powerful movement that operates between ideological lines.
