Did they all order the grow tents from the same supplier? Are the cops going to raid everyone who has bought a grow tents the past few years? I don't think the poor guy with 2 plant had any intentions of selling. Interesting article.

Thought the same thing , i guess everything is black and white to the cops .
  The busts of these guys with a few plants does nothing , zero , zilich  for the community expect maybe help fund other drug dealers now they need to buy the cannabis from the streets .

A few people buying equipment they paid tax on and paying for the  electricity to run  equipment all contributing to the economy .

 I am sure the cops are looking for methods to get " easy" busts which look great on paper . Instead of hunting down meth labs , commercial grow ops etc.

The articles that have been pumping out of qld have been commercial but now showing home growers. That's the Lnp for ya. Not very Liberal.
