The government has the home addresses of the 1,100 licence holders, so we also expect a visit from the police and to be charged, as is happening in the U.S. Neither of us would survive long in jail. Harper's promised crackdown on growers will raise street prices significantly, lower quality, and increase the potential of us being injured or killed trying to get our medicine. My wife and I are more than just worried about a Conservative win - we are afraid for our lives.
