For those who need one... our local brewery, one of the major ones in Canada, (Molson's), was recently shut down. No... not downsizing...no...not a buy out or a merger...you see there was something wrong with the equipment. The multimillion dollar top of the line equipment wasn't just making beer... it was growing ower 25,000 pot plants!! This operation was going on for 2 years!! Estimated street value was over 30 million dollars. Everyone here is still laughing!! |

Giant pot bust inside former brewery likely largest in Canada, police say
BARRIE, Ontario (AP) — A marijuana "factory" concealed within a sprawling old brewery just steps from one of Ontario's busiest highways is proof Canada's pot problem has reached "epidemic proportions," police said Monday.
The former Molson brewery in Barrie, Ontario, plainly visible from Highway 400, one of the province's busiest commuter routes, was raided on the weekend by some 100 city and provincial police officers acting on a tip.
Inside, police found marijuana with what they said had an estimated street value of $30 million, along with a grow operation of staggering proportions — the largest and most sophisticated in modern Canadian history.
"This is not a ma-and-pa operation," Barrie police Chief Wayne Frechette wryly told a news conference in this central Ontario city an hour's drive north of Toronto.
Across a 5,400-square meter complex the size of a football field, police found more than 25,000 pot plants growing everywhere — even inside the cavernous indoor vats once used to brew beer.
Molson closed the brewery in 2000 and sold it to a company that leases space to about half a dozen businesses. The other companies included trucking companies and a bottling company, police said.

One of the cops was quoted in the papers as saying: "A couple of years ago, these vats were full of Coors Light, now there full of buds!:
Had to laugh at that!! |

More like "tolerated", in only in small quantities, I think. They substituted a fine instead of prison sentence for use, not growing and selling in big quantities. |

I was trying to change the maple leaf for the pot leaf in the Canadian Flag, but discovered that from the very beginning it was pot in disguise
