The Canadian Press: Police in London, Ont., discover two alligators during search of home

Another one from my home town. Police raided a London home expecting to find marijuana, which they did. However what they didn't count on was the two alligators and other exotic animals. Apparently the animals were kept inadequately.... alls I can say is, gee really, the guy didn't have a proper tank to fit two full grown alligators in his home. They also found nunchucks... were these guys in Grade 8, because I would have loved to live in a place with alligators and nunchucks when I was in grade 8.

Two men were charged with drug possession and possession of a prohibited weapon, but no charges have been laid from the keeping of the animals as of yet.

London Free Press - Marijuana Muffins Sicken Dogs

A hard-partying teenager -- and not a malicious animal-hater -- was behind a number of dog poisonings at a Port Perry park last month, Durham Regional Police said yesterday.

Investigators determined source of the poisonings were marijuana-laced muffins, dumped in Poplar Park by an 18-year-old who was cleaning up after hosting several house parties during March Break.

Four dogs became ill on March 23 after eating the tainted treats.

A local vet alerted authorities and initial testing of the treats led police to believe they were spiked with antifreeze. But subsequent tests revealed the dogs may have suffered cannabis poisoning.

"The citizens in the area were very helpful in solving this case," Durham Regional Police spokesperson Dave Selby said, adding their tip led investigators to the teen.

Police don't believe the teenager had any criminal intent in dumping the tainted muffins and he won't be charged.

All the sickened dogs have made full recoveries.

Ok I am confused, what the heck is cannabis poisoning. I have only ever come across this term twice, and both times the medical community were puzzled by the cases and suspected there was more too it. These dogs looked like they had consumed antifreeze, a very toxic substance, but it turns out it was marijuana? I detect the distinct aroma of seafood, or is that manure of a male cow? In order to fatally overdose on marijuana a person would have to smoke or ingest ridiculous amounts of marijuana, so much so it is virtually impossible, now granted dogs have much less mass and therefore require much less marijuana to overdose, that being said, how many freaking muffins did this teenager toss?

London Free Press - Local News- Fire discloses pot grow-op

Since this happened in my own back yard (not literally people, just that I am a fellow Londoner), I thought I should post this one. I do find it odd however that no one is saying how many plants there are. Cops are always ever so proud of how many plants they pull out of a grow op, super inflating their value to make them sound oh so heroic.

I find it amusing that everyone is shocked that a nice guy has a grow op. Do they really believe all the hype that everyone who has a grow op is a nasty gangster? People who smoke and even grow marijuana are every day people for the most part, we are your doctors, your car mechanics, your lawyers, your computer repair technicians, and yes even your teachers. The only reason organized crime has ANYTHING to do with marijuana is because of silly prohibition laws.

London Ontario Busted Marijuana Grow-Ops

The London Free Press is publishing a google map with a listing of every place in which "The London Police Service has executed search warrants for production of a controlled substance". Somehow I wonder about the legality of this, or the morality. From the wording these are not places in which there are definately grow ops, just places that have been searched. Guilty or not they are being published and defamed as grow op operators. On the flip side it does give us all access to a list of possible providers of Mary Jane should our own stashes run dry.

It is an interesting little map listing the charges filed, what was found and some more useless info. If you are bored and want to check out the MJ action in London Ontario browse around it for a while. If you live in London even better you can search for your house and see what's near by.
