Growing problem... LOl

Quote:

Canada is a major exporter of high-potency marijuana, according to the man who leads the US war on drugs.
White House "drug czar" John Walters says new cultivation methods mean marijuana sold today in the US is much stronger than in the 1960s.

"We have a growing problem with the expansion of particularly high-potency marijuana coming from Canada," he said.

Last year the drug produced in British Columbia alone was worth $9bn and most of it was exported to the US, he added.

High-grade marijuana is grown in nutrient-rich solutions rather than soil, and sells for as much as cocaine, according to Mr Walters, who heads the Office of National Drug Control Policy.

I don't buy this crap.

Most pot is grown indoors. "BC bud" is a total myth. I laugh especially hard when I hear "BC hydro". I mean.. growing anything hydroponically means it's grown indoors, with the roots submerged in a water solution that is rich in oxygen under a grow light. Climate has nothing to do with it.

I don't see how Canada can be a major exporter. Because it is always cheaper just take a basement, setup a few 1000W high pressure sodium lamps and either grow hydroponically or organically. But IN DOORS never the less. Smuggling and shipping raises the price. There's no reason to get it from Canada and there's no reason that growing it in Canada would raise it's potency either.

the reason people want the pot from Canada is because it is A LOT better than if you grew it in your basement. that takes time to perfect what you are doing to grow decent pot. all the good shit comes from the north, shit weed comes from Mexico.

What I am saying is that pot grown in Canada IS grown in people's basement! lol

It's just as illegal here to grow and traffic as it is in the states. Sure lots of people grow outdoors in secluded areas.. but no more than in the states.

Climate has nothing to do with anything .. because commerical pot is almost always grown indoors. No matter where you are in the world.

you couldn't be more wrong.

Pot is BC's number one export crop for at least the last 10 years in a row. Much of this is hydroponic. Ontario is a close second... seems like every other house in Toronto these days is dedicated as a grow op. And yes, most of it is for export to the US where a pound sells for nearly double the price. Laws here are much more relaxed... we don't have your war so it's much safer to produce it here and ship it South and take a bigger profit.

I thought two years ago they said pot came from Osama Bin Laden.

How short do these guys think our attention spans are? They played the fucking pot = terrorism commercials during the Superbowl. Obviously anyone with a clue knew that was bullshit, but one would think that they'd at least attempt to stop contradicting themselves.
