text: Why grow a crop that is effortless & practically input free when grown outside, in hyper secure and patrolled walled plant "prisons"? Why? To make vast and obscene profits for well connected insiders of course!
  
  As a past legal grower of Canadian cannabis, I was able to sell the herb for $600.00 a metric TONNE and still make a very decent profit - i.e. SIXTY CENTS A KILO. Our yield was about three tonnes per acre on sixty acres As a crop it was better than corn, grains or oil seeds. Over three or four years we found that cannabis was a really easy crop - especially when compared to the ones I mentioned above.
  
  This "legalisation" process is simply exchanging one set of gangsters for another. Only this time the gangsters are backed by taxpayer funded paramilitaries (i.e. the police & RCMP). It's no coincidence that Bill "G20" Blair is the Liberal in charge of this file.
