[catmando]

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

Wow - tons of drugs, guess that's why valemount is such a "calm" place.

No doubt, three days and they found that amount of sh!t !! Time to focus on drugs more than sleeders I would say

There's no $$$$$ for getting drugs off the street. These guys get a slap on the wrist in BC. (well, except the Alberta guy, he will likely face a firing squad) Lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for truck violations.

That's how they catch the "bad guy's".
Just another reason to keep your equipment in safe operating condition.

If you think about it, now is the time of year where a lot of the outdoor operations are complete, and processed for distribution. Perfect time to be making drug related arrests at any BC/AB border. Good to see, they took care of some of it.

did anyone go to the A&W there last year in Feb??? not sure how long the girl worked there but she was a cute girl with glasses and man she was screwed up, not sure the drugs she was on or if she was high on life but it was sure entertaining.

So I guess what you're trying to tell me is ;my "guy" is not gonna get here when I expected him?

if your "guy" is running to BC for outdoor bud it's time to find a new one. lots of good growers in our province, buy local!

Ya, you're right I should really support local business

Yes you should.

there are gro-ops here in the Okanagan growing smaller amounts of BC bud under the medicinal rules but I was told a lot of it moves to Ft Mac every week. So cops are probably on the look out.

ya, but it makes for one good xmas party for the cops........... Jus' sayin'

It's all just pot. Now if they found 25 pounds of coke that inevitably heads from Vancouver to fort mac, then they would be on to something worth patting themselves on the back for.

It's all just pot. Now if they found 250 pounds of coke that inevitably heads from Vancouver to fort mac every month, then they would be on to something worth patting themselves on the back for.

Fixed it for you.


No way they would be shipping pot from Van to the Mac too far for the money lol

 

[RMK Junky]

This is minor compared to what is never found. Piss ant drug busts like this is only for joe public to be reassured the queens cowboys are doing their jobs. If they actually stumbled into something that made a difference we as a society would be dum founded.

Like pissing in the ocean

Lyn currently works as the Prairies Coordinator for the Council of Canadians. Needless to say, Lyn is well acquainted with the going-ons of Fort McMurray.“The drug of choice changed overnight, from pot to coke, and it changed with good reason”, starts Lyn.
She tells me how cocaine leaves the system within 24 hours, whereas pot remains for weeks. When companies began instituting mandatory drug tests, the dealers starting pushing coke instead of marijuana. I ask Lyn for her take on the high levels of drug use in the relatively small community:
“They have the cash. Blue collar, white collar, ordinary people, it’s everyone really. There are parties where you go upstairs to do heavy drugs and downstairs to drink.”

“But if you work for the oil companies, which is pretty much everyone around here, then you face mandatory drug testing. Coke leaves your system in twenty-four hours. You can party hard on Friday and by the time your back to work on Monday, you’re fine. It’s unfortunate, but it makes sense when you think about it”.

The towns drug problems is more the four times the provincial average. Close to 40% of the workers in Fort McMurray tested positive for cocaine and marijuana, and in 2006 the accident rate in Alberta was up by 17%, and experts believe this is due to drug abuse on the job site.

When I did my time in Fort Mac the common estimate was $1M a week in cocaine sales....
