    My question is not who got busted, but what is the "JOINT task force, [love that name] doing in York Harbour.. Must be a big "rodent" down there somewhere. Too bad the donut munchers got a whole 5 pounds this time. Darn, there went this weekend's supply..To the "parent of Lark Harbour" commenter. It's people like you that create an atmosphere where your children grow up and knock back a pack or two of cigarettes a day and become hard-frinking alcoholics by the time they reach 21.. Better they become pot heads and do something that's not dangerous to them or affect how they will ultimately relate to society, than be inebriated all the time and be a general nuisance to everyone.

    Well that small amount will keep the weed off the streets all of one day! Your kids will find another place to buy it!!!!!!I It will never be controlled to the point where there will be none. Your next doot neighbour is probably sitting on 5 or 6 pound as we speak. So point being children and teens have the choice to make whether to do drugs or not and will not be controlled otherwise.

      There is a gram of tobacco in a cigarette. 453g in a pound x 5 = 2265. even if they rolled half gram cigarettes that would be 4530. Cops must smoke little tiny marijuana cigarettes : )
