This is an absolute outrage:

May 12, Wells RCMP raided the Balls’ Crown Grant 5-F property near Wells.

They confiscated close to 300 marijuana plants, four grocery-style bags of dried herb, growing equipment and several firearms.

Charges of production and possession of a controlled substance are pending against the couple…

This dangerous 65-year old drug producer had a government exemption for 60 plants, but was growing 300. But the light he was using to grow the plants was too weak for them to have grown full size. This was intentional: “I thought we’d go with the smaller plants because you don’t have the pain in the neck and you don’t have to trim all those dinky ass buds”

Shocking. But not as shocking as the condition of his wife, for whom he was growing the weed:

A decade-long battle with two herniated discs and a spur-ridden vertebrae in her lower back and neck have left Jayne slightly hunched over.

The spurs are an endless catalyst for pain, Jayne said, as they pinch nerves and send waves of unease throughout her body.

“It’s like somebody is ripping my skin off,� she said wincing at the thought of it, holding the back of her neck with a cupped left hand.

And in addition to making sure that this woman is unable to sip a little weed once a day, the RCMP also engaged in some of the cop-media bullshitting that our national police force is becoming so well known for:

“It [the grow op] was getting ready for a significant expansion, according to RCMP.”

“This was the expansion they were talking about,� Bert said pointing to a roughly four-foot by four-foot storage space.

Un-fucking-believable. When will the insanity end?
