If cannabis is legal in Canada, why are there still police raids?

For example, let’s say you travel back to the 1990s and say that cannabis is legal in the future, but the police are still getting paid and raiding “illegal growers,” you might scratch your head.

If Cannabis Is Legal, How Are Police Raids Still Happening? How are people still growing illegally?

How did Ontario police discover 10,000 plants and 250 pounds of dried flowers worth $8.5 million? Why wasn’t this huge corporation legal?

A Brief History of Cannabis in Canada

If cannabis is legal in Canada, why are there still police raids? The answer is that not all cannabis is legal. As I correctly predicted, Justin Trudeau never intended to legalize cannabis.

Justin is a jerk. A wake-up caller worthy of jail. His plan was to corporatize it.

In late 2012, the former Harper administration announced an overhaul of the medical system. The patients could no longer grow themselves. They would have to go through a company LP system.

Patients sued, won, and now even recreational users can grow (unless you’re in Quebec).

All Justin Trudeau did was change the laws to allow these major medical cannabis producers to sell to the general public. Even if not directly. First, they have to go through an inefficient and ineffective government wholesale distribution center.

The only way to grow and sell cannabis or industrial hemp is with Health Canada approval.

You can imagine the situation if the nation produced such food. Ontario police raid local farmers markets over ‘illegal’ tomatoes.

If cannabis is legal, why the police raids?

Recently, the Drug Enforcement Unit of the Durhan Regional Police Service found a huge “grow-op” off Highway 7. As previously mentioned, there was an estimated $8.5 million worth of goods and capital.

Earlier this month, police accused two seniors in Caledon of running an “illegal” cannabis farm and producing concentrates. With over 16.5 kilograms of cannabis oil and 500 plants, police estimated the street value at almost $5 million.

Last summer, Ontario police raided two greenhouse sites and discovered 45,000 plants valued at $61 million.

Ontario police charged three people in May after searching a farm near Renfrew and finding 7,600 cannabis plants.

In March, another 7,600 plants were confiscated by Essex County police near Leamington, Ontario.

And that’s just this year. In a province. And that’s not even all of them, just the big ones.

What’s going on here? If cannabis is legal, why aren’t these people getting proper licenses?

The problem with cannabis in Canada

Canada over-regulates its cannabis industry.

From the onerous Health Canada regulations, stupid permitting processes, federal excise taxes and provincial wholesalers, to the general incompetence of all levels of government.

If you want your country or state to legalize cannabis, look to more liberal regimes like Colorado. Canada is not an example for the world.

As part of Justin Trudeau’s commitment to legal cannabis, there was a caveat that it would make it harder for organized crime to operate.

Well, the people involved in the recent Ontario cannabis raids might be a piece of junk. They could cut corners, spray crops with pesticides, and make solvents unsafe.

But it’s also possible that their only crime is producing a crop that’s overly regulated by the government.

Ontario has no problem with alcohol smugglers. There is no black market for craft beer. That’s because regulations allow anyone to enter the store.

With a little seed capital and ambition, you can make it as a craft brewer in Ontario.

The same goes for craft cannabis.

If cannabis is legal, why the police raids?

Cannabis is not legal. It was corporatized. Health Canada would not be the gatekeeper for production licensing if it were legal. The police would not raid peaceful farmers.

In a true free market, we wouldn’t even need licensing. Because accreditation is important, consumers pay the premiums when they care.

Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau has delivered on his promise to “legalize, restrict and regulate” cannabis.

For someone who admires China’s “simple dictatorship,” it’s clear that legalizing cannabis would mean all within the state, nothing outside of the state, and nothing against the state.

Justin’s Liberals were clear from the start. The police would be given more resources and powers to fight the “black market”.

Cannabis is legal in Canada, so why the police raids? Because cannabis is illegal. It’s barcoded and sits under fluorescent lights, hiding behind opaque, childproof plastic containers.

Cannabis prohibition is still alive and well in Canada.
