Pubdate: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 Date: 04/17/2000 Source: Province, The (CN BC) Author: Alan Randell ~~~ Authors: Alan Randell Note: subjectline by MAP Let's see, there are an estimated 10,000 marijuana grow ops in B.C. and after a weeklong crackdown, the cops closed 80 down. I guess that means that 2 1/2 years from now there will be no marijuana grow ops in B.C. A lot more unsolved murders and assaults, of course, but no more grow ops. Oh, I forgot. Perhaps new ones will start up to fill the market gap. Good strategy? I think not. Alan Randell, Victoria
