It's really simple actually, just legalize marajuana then the growers don't have to use faulty power connections to grow their dope. They could then legally get their power turned on and monitored correctly so that there isn't any safety issues to deal with. But we all know that this won't provide any money to spend for the politicians so it will never happen. After all money is more important to them than the safety of their constituents.

The grow operations now bring in billions of dollars in profit annually. Police say 95 per cent of them are run by criminal gangs, who smuggle their marijuana to the U.S. for sale. So how many billion dollars of U.S. money is going to Canada? I think if I were a Canadian economist, I'd say we change nothing, too!
P.S. Hey Sparta, I like the keywords, but that would be gAnga, not gOnga.

If you look at the $$$$ involved, Canadastan cannot afford to outlaw these Junior Joe Kennedy types. They'll probably figure a way to prevent power theft and all will be happy.

Another main concern is that the operations release chemical toxins and fumes ... What, oxygen?

Ahhh....prohibition and unbridled capitalism. An amazing formula for getting rich quick! Let's be sure to keep people from growing their own pot. Let's be sure to keep up the war on pot. Let's be sure that the business stays obscenely profitable!!

With any luck, all those terrorists that Canukastan lets in will get stoned and forget their mission to kill infidels in America.

Looks like they have a couple options?
Enforcement: Increase taxes and make the nation a police state, which will increase market value and profit margins for growers because of reduced supply. A never ending escalation on both sides, until anarchy or revolt.
Legalization: Tax it, set up treatment programs, and raise a nation of potheads. Let the economy collapse and maybe they wise up.
As long as demand remains, the stuff will be a marketable product.

" ... electricity they need to operate high-voltage lamps .." Wow. That sounds worse than "automatic assault rifles".
Okay 5 day waiting period before anyone can buy "high-voltage lamps". It's for the children.
