from the linked article:
Public Safety Minister Anne McLellan held a news conference to say she will consider tougher penalties for grow operations in the proposed marijuana decriminalization bill.
we all know what this means - nothing.
grow-ops are typically staffed by low-level mules that don't even know who put the money up for the operations.
point of fact, out here in bc you hear all kinds of crazy stuff, like the government itself being involved at some levels.
one thing for sure - they don't do all they can, i believe because it is an integral part of the economy. #2 industry here.
grow-ops are a low priority. period.
