POLICE IN LEAGUE WITH GROWERS?

To The Editor,

RE: Killaloe OPP lay multiple charges

Are police working in cahoots with rival growers? They must be,
because they know perfectly well that when they tear out big grows
like these, they are actually subsidizing the 90-95% growers that they
never catch. Even huge busts have little-to-no effect on the
availability of pot in the community - all it does is drive up the
profit of the uncaught dealers.

So not only is the police's "marijuana is illegal" policy the very
thing that is making pot-growing so lucrative, their ongoing
enforcement of the policy is increasing the rival gangster's profits.
The police are also wasting time, money, and fuel, while failing to
solve real crimes. It is all just one big make-work scam for growers
and lazy cops!

It all leads me to wonder just which side of the law these people are
really on!
