The UN 2009 World Drug Report found that marijuana was used at least once in 2007 by between 3.3% and 4.4% of the global population, making it the most popular illegal drug. Usage was highest in Central America (10.5% of the population) and Australia/New Zealand (11%). The report also says the global underground markets for cocaine and heroin appear to have shrunk in 2008, but amphetamine production and use may be increasing in developing countri…

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…

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. Our involvement in this project began with a $15,000 matching grant donation from the same donor. Harvest time is nearing and over the next two months the facility is expecting to produce approximately 150 kg of high-potency medical marijuana, with a retail value of more than $1 million (calculated at $7 a gram, which is quite a low price). All of the …

In 2000 and 2001 Molson breweries underwent some fairly major restructuring, some of which was reported on this site. 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." It is one-third larger than the infamous 2003 operation at the former Molson brewery in Barrie, where police seized 30,000 plants. Sgt. Kristine Rae said it took officers all weekend to seize the plants, which had a street val…

This has been taken from the Winnipeg Sun Paper. When Robin Chatterjee was pulled over for having a missing licence plate, police claimed they smelled marijuana in his car. They searched the car and found $29,000 in cash and a few items commonly used for growing marijuana. The police recognized they did not have evidence to charge him with any crime. Instead, they confiscated the items, along with the $29,000. Shockingly, this happened in Canada. The Supreme Court of Canada recently ruled such forfeitures do not violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. If the police just "think" property in your possession may have come from criminal activity, it can b…
