'Grow-op' nothing but tomatoes July 1, 2008 - canada.com
VANCOUVER - Red-faced police officers in Prince Rupert on B.C.'s north coast were looking for a marijuana grow-op came up with a tomato-grow-op instead.
Commercial fisherman Bruce Aleksich said Tuesday that about 15 RCMP officers burst into his business last Thursday, only to find 400 tomato plants in various stages of growth.
After a bleak spring, Aleksich said he decided to grow the tomatoes under lights.
When RCMP arrived at about 9 p.m., Aleksich told them he was a gardener with nothing but tasty tomatoes in the building.
Nevertheless, Aleksich, two employees and two visitors were forced to the ground.
"They had us on the floor for over an hour," he said. "All of us were cuffed. I don't know how it got to the point where guns were drawn."
Aleksich said he has heard nothing from the RCMP about their mistake.
"You'd think they would be embarrassed," he said. "I just wanted them to say it was a mistake. People now assume I was growing marijuana."
Aleksich said his two visitors, a friend from Victoria and his girlfriend, were looking at real estate.
"I don't think he's going to buy land here after that," said Aleksich.
An RCMP spokesman could not be reached.

I recommend that citizens of Vancouver print a copy of this article and mail it along with a rotten tomato to the foolish RCMP.

RCMP got OWNED.
Nice. That just proves that they conducted a raid without any evidence and arrested completely innocent civilians. What dumbasses. Wow...seriously...what is the world coming to?
This is why marijuana should ultimately be legal. It's prohibition is causing stupid fucking shit like this.
I have a small greenhouse on my yard. It also has only tomatoes. I'd love it if the feds came by and cuffed me and my family. That'd be millions more dollars in my pockets after I got my justice.
-------------------- "As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." --Max Planck

which gives me a good idea. what if someone made a big grow op in their house. like convert rooms into growing areas. make it look like they are growing marijuana. then once the cops bust in and find its only tomatos. then they could sue the cops and make just as much money as they would growing real marijuana.

And a one up on that would be for lots of people to do that and make it known across the country that People are getting raided for growing indoor tomatoes and maybe we can slow or even stop some of these raids on the growhouses. Or am I just too stoned?

That is a great idea and I think it could work. I would be willing to do this but, I quit smoking (tobacco). We should start a campain to do this. Everyone roll your own cigs or get a glass piece for tobbaco and burn it up out in public (just dont be holding anything illegal). The cops would be so sick of messing with people for smoking tobacco, that they would just stop harrassing us.

typical
the pigs have put their heads together on this one and thought he's got to be growing weed
i wonder if tomato plants under lights produce toxic fumes like they say marijuana does
i know they dont give a fuck if our kids poison themselves eating toxic tomato leaves
i think its even worse to grow poisonous tomato plants under lights when you add the danger of natural nutrient suppliments to the equation lol

i need names and addresses of narc members pm for details

I would be all for setting up lights and conspicuously buying hydroponic equipment to grow tomatoes in my closet. Too bad they wouldn't stop at tearing apart the grow closet and probably find some forgotten piece of bud and some baggies under a counter or something and arrest me for intent to produce (equipment) distribute (little baggies) and possession anyway. It doesn't matter if you can beat it in court, you still have to spend ungodly amounts of time and money on bullshit.
If you plan on doing it, I would suggest a detail cleaning.
