no, we cannot question the basic premise of drug laws or drug raids. thanks for asking, though!
So you ran home to toke a little herb before you ran off to work at the Gob Shop, and missed the conference.
How completely predictable.
@2: Silly homo, the Gob Shop closed a while ago.
Note to Stranger: please put Mr. Holden on staff so's he can focus on the news instead of running to his other job.
So does arresting pot growers change the availability or abuse-rates of pot?
Not according to the people I know. At worst it appears to delay customer delivery by a day or two, as mid-level dealers redirect procurement and distributon, but that's about the only measureably adverse effect.
Sometimes I think a lot of these indoor grow-ops are simply set up with the expectation they'll be busted, as a way to keep teh cops preoccupied, thus allowing the major operations to proceed undisturbed.
@5: that's pretty fucked up for the folks that get to go to jail running interference for the volume dealers. i hope they're compensated well.
We have always been at war with Oceania.
Ignore the MJ Tax Stamps on display at the Pot Museum in Vancouver BC from the USA ...
@6:
The thing is, according to other recent press coverage on this issue, it appears the folks getting busted are all part of a fairly tightly connected Vietnamese cartel that's grown up around these parts the past few years, and that it was their rather blatantly large transactions at a particular southend grow-shop that got them all in-dutch.
Also, from the sounds of things, the cops have a pretty comprehensive list of people at all levels of the organization, so they appear to be casting a much wider net than just the poor schmucks stuck tending the plants or transporting the finished product.
It would further appear that the smarter, more experienced local operators know better than to leave such an obvious paper-trail, and therefore are generally avoiding exactly these kinds of high-profile busts.
Ask Dominic
The Gob Shop moved to Market St. a few years ago.

I think people should take very small, canvas totes when they go to see their dealer, rather than throwing away all of those Ziploc bags.
@8 Similar thing happened a couple of weeks ago in MN. Funny thing is the SE Asian dude running the grow house pulls into the driveway and entered the house WHILE the cops were busting the place, AND the local media were covering said bust.
Another pot-growing bust. Another Dominic screed. Zzzzzzzzzzz...
Silly homo, where'd you get that info? The internet? The Market St. location's closed too.
Yes, Gob Shoppe, RIP, not here anymore. And I'm pretty sure Dominic never worked there!
The question I didn't see asked or answered: How was it that the greenhouse supply shop owners were arrested? Is it illegal to sell greenhouse supplies?
