COMPARE COST OF FED'S FLIN FLON CROP WITH COST OF B.C. GROW-OP

I'm responding to Stuart Hunter's story on a new marijuana grow-op study.

Isn't it funny that our tax money was used to grow a pot crop in Flin Flon, 
Man., that was so bad it had to be destroyed. Meanwhile, equivalent tax 
dollars are used to shut down B.C. grow-ops, which produce the 
highest-quality and best-yielding marijuana in the world.

Wouldn't it be interesting to compare the cost of the Flin Flon crop to the 
cost of producing an equal quantity of illegal marijuana in B.C.?

I would like to read more stories about the RCMP cracking down on heroin 
and cocaine trafficking. Or, if no such crackdown is occurring, I would 
like to see governments pressured into dealing effectively with this more 
serious threat to society.
