A 51-year-old Port Hope Simpson man has been arrested for the alleged possession of illegal drugs for the purpose of trafficking after the RCMP seized 35 grams of marijuana and 12 grams of cannabis resin oil from the man’s home.
Police also seized $50,000 in cash and drug-related paraphernalia.
Charges are pending against the man. No court date has been set.
The search warrant was executed by officers from the Mary’s Harbour and Cartwright RCMP detachments.
That seems like a lot more than $5,000 in the picture.Looks more like $50,000. The stacks of hundreds alone would equal about $15,000-$20,000
Legalization, not penalization.
those drugs will be sold to children ,teens and adults,taking away from families.all that money is going to the drug cartels making them rich .I CHEER OUT LOUD WHEN THE POLICE TAKE THIS CRAP OFF OUR STREETS!!!!! YAHOOOOO
Weed may be harmless until you have an accident and the other driver is so stoned, he shouldn't be driving and has no insurance because he spends his money on weed. If you ask users of the heavy drugs, I bet most will say they started on weed.
Police bust pot dealers because it's easy. The potent smell of marijuana makes it easy for cops to stumble upon and make an arrest. They make the bust, they get the stat and the praise from their superior. Who cares if they are wasting taxpayer money or time that could be spent on real drugs or violent criminals? What a joke. Many states in the U.S. are taking steps to decriminalize marijuana, and here we are busting people for PITIFUL amounts of the herb. Please, Baby Boomers, die off quicker or stop voting because our laws are outdated, irrational, and FOOLISH!
Wow another costly bust of the harmless plant we call a drug. When is the government going to smarten up and finally legalize this? Bath salts is perfectly legal but you cant be sure if your going to wake up with a face or not.
Great, now how much is it going to cost to charge, convict and punish this guy? An order of magnitude higher than $5000. All for a drug that is perfectly legal to possess and grow for a lot of people in this country. Hey RCMP, where are the real drugs? There are these things called coke, meth, and pills that are a real problem. Why don't you skip the Tim Hortons and go find some of that. Great job wasting my hard earned tax money.
