POLICE got more than they bargained for while trying to serve a court order at an address in Reservoir. On arriving at the Lindenow St home, the officers were given permission to enter the property where they stumbled across a hydroponic set up and a large number of cannabis plants. The man who let the officers inside then fled on foot, closely followed by his two stunned guests. Despite efforts by the police and dog squad, the fleet-footed offender escaped and is still at large. If he does return, it will be to an empty house. Po…

.... that thing about Canada and that law where cops can now seize any assets which 'they think' 'may have been' gained from crime. Well now we have our own Aussie bred law which is 100% the same.

Published: 24 Jun 09 16:12 CET http://www.thelocal.de/society/20090624-20173.html A trio of middle-aged Germans produced more than 14 tonnes of marijuana by hiding it in maize fields in locations around the country, a court in Koblenz heard on Wednesday. The men, aged 49, 60 and 64, are charged with growing around 3.5 tonnes of the drug each year from 2004 until 2007, while in 2006 they harvested a bumper crop of four tonnes thanks to perfect weather conditions. The men rented fields in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate, hiding their cannabis crop by growing maize around the edges of the fields, a ruse which worked for years. They also imported up t…

From StopTheDrugWar.org For 30 years, Donald Tashkin has studied the effects of marijuana on lung function. His work has been funded by the vehemently anti-marijuana National Institute on Drug Abuse, which has long sought to demonstrate that marijuana causes lung cancer. After 3 decades of anti-drug research, here's what Tashkin has to say about marijuana laws: "Early on, when our research appeared as if there would be a negative impact on lung health, I was opposed to legalization because I thought it would lead to increased use and that would lead to increased health effects," Tashkin says. "But at this point, I'd be in favor of legalization. I wouldn't encourage anyb…

MAPS Funds Security Guards to Protect Israeli Marijuana Facility Using funds from an anonymous donor, MAPS has donated $750, with another $3000 likely to follow, to Yohai Golan for security guards to protect the Israeli medical marijuana production facility that he has been operating, with previous assistance from MAPS.

They bought back the 49% share of the company formerly owned by Cooper's of Australia, bought Brazilian Kaiser Brewery, and closed down several major operations in Canada, consolidating their brewing. Today Police raided the massive former Molson brewery in Barrie Ontario, which was closed in 2000. It seems the plant had gone from making Coors, to making Bud. And we do not mean the stuff made famous by Anheuser-Busch! Shown here is the grow operation that was found inside one of the massive beer tanks. In a joint operation of the Ontario Provincial Poli…

Ontario marijuana bust called largest A massive plantation of 40,000 marijuana plants has been discovered by police in a cornfield in eastern Ontario. The plants were found Sept. 18 at a farm on B Line Road in Laurentian Valley Township near Pembroke, Ont., about 150 kilometres west of Ottawa, during the execution of a search warrant, said an Ontario Provincial Police news release that described the bust as "the largest in Canada's history."

Kristine Rae said it took officers all weekend to seize the plants, which had a street val…
