Police seize over 18,000 pot plants in latest northern Ontario grow-op bust
Sat Aug 6,10:34 PM ET
MATHESON, Ont. (CP) - Police have seized more than 18,000 marijuana plants from a northern Ontario community located just south of where one of Canada's largest pot busts went down last month.
It's alleged some of the plants discovered in the latest outdoor grow-op bust were more than a metre tall.
Police have arrested two 39-year-old men, both of whom are from the Toronto area.
Xian Zhao Li and Han Chu Hu face multiple drug charges and are scheduled to appear in Timmins court Monday.
In late July, more than 21,000 marijuana plants were seized from behind a home in Iroquois Falls, Ont., about 35 kilometres north of Matheson, the location of the Friday bust.

I agree. Pot should be legal. My mother was a very heavy tobaco smoker and she chain smoked the entire time she was pregnate with me. I was full term (9 months) but only was 3 pounds.
The first commercial insecticide to go on the market was nicotine. It kills insects by destroying their central nervous system.
As I am sure you all know, anything that is able to pass thru the blood brain barrier also will pass thru the placenta and then pass thru the baby's blood brain barrier.
So, basically, from the time I was conceived until the day I was born, my mother was trying her best (wheather she knew it or not) to destroy my brain.
I can't help but think of that line from a song
"Look what they did to my brain ma"
But I say, "Look what you did to my brain ma."
I suffer severly from several chronic progressive pain disorders.
The worst is fibromyalgia. And look at the word. Pain of soft and connecting tissue and muscle. So, basically all over I have 24/7/365 pain.
I also have several forms of neralgia.
I am dyslexic.
I have OCD.
I have insomnia.
And last, but not least, daily spasms of the esophagus. Remember the alien in the first Alien movie that tore his way out of the guy's stomac? That is what it feels like.
Now, up tp the year 2005 there has been a great number of correlational studies done concerning the effect of pregnate women smoking. Much data have shown very high corrolations between pregnate women smoking and the kids then having the same problems I have.
Now, as for pot. There are many dotors nowdays who specialise only in chronic pain disorders. And, there has been much research that shows pot is a great medication for people with the pain problemms I have.
I have spoken to many doctors both in the US and in Korea who specialise in pain control. They all think pot should be legal for people like me.
So, the drug (Nicotine) that has basically made most of my life a 24/7/365 (366 if a leap year) f'ing nightmare  can be bought anyplace and is legal. But the drug that can help ease the pain it caused is illegal.
