Governments have been made servile to their social control measures. The RCMP busts from five to 20 per cent of grows, a laughable failure rate. The RCMP ripping cannabis gardens is lame job security that subsidizes all the remaining growers. Prohibition laws are designed to syphon cash from the monolithically fraudulent fractional reserve banking system to hasten its demise. It must collapse because under it the economy accumulates debt at an exponential rate from unbridled resource depletion on a finite planet. Alternative economies are flourishing. Argentina's supreme court has ruled that restricting personal cannabis use is unconstitutional. This is part of a growing movement to end this madness. Several other countries have been reversing prohibition. If someone wants to go to Vancouver from Toronto, but is driving to Montreal at 110, it won't do any good to slow to 50.
