I REALLY had to laugh when I read about the "Huge pot bust" in the
June 6 Sun. Here in the U.S., we have had several occasions when the
police have busted amounts ranging up to 20 tons of pot -- or more.
Strangely enough, the U.S. police take the same attitude as the RCMP.
They seem to believe bigger and bigger busts indicate they are winning
the war on drugs. The one thing they fail to mention is it never seems
to have any real effect on the marijuana market.
