Zing 9/20/2012 9:42:49 AM Report$1,000.00 per plant? Get real!
Bad Dawg 9/20/2012 10:01:16 AM Reporthaha.... more like $30,000.... would love to know their formula for figuring it out...... I don't think if the subtracted the water weight (about 2/3 of the total weight)..... they did railroad my buddy once (weighed his extra dirt, chemicals, and didn't even take the plants outta the pots) he fought it and now holds a licence for growing in Ontario all legal and everything
Zing 9/20/2012 10:22:23 AM ReportI think they include the roots, dirt and wet plants (not dried) and consider it all to be 'primo' which it is not. Pot grown in Northern Ontario outdoors has very little potency.
Tender34 9/20/2012 10:23:48 AM ReportFound it on crown land. If I was some poor farmer and they found it on my land or your land, we would be arrested even if we didn't plant it. I guess they should go arrest the crown !!!
