If police claim that a car with Ontario plates parked in the driveway suggests someone is growing marijuana inside, I should be careful where I park when I visit family and friends in the West Island, lest the neighbours snitch on them. The war on marijuana and marijuana consumers just gets more and more ridiculous and absurd with each passing day. Tim Meehan Ottawa - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
