Very much agreed, itâ??s not that they arenâ??t crazy. But they would get to many false positives if the consumption level was too low. It needs to be so high that very very few normal people would use that much power.Quote:

Hey HArris.. Can you tell me what the famous BUD growing capital..Surrey, BC is like?
COffe shops? COllege kids? parks? tolerant police, weather, etc..
thanks
you will be amazed!!! Don’t be too upset
Surrey is the largest municipality in BC, and thus it has a large deviation in property value and well everything. Some areas in surrey (south surrey) have among the highest property value in the province. While others have lots of shootings. (north Surrey)
Growing is almost 100% indoors in surrey as there are very few large parks or forests. It may well be the grow op capital of the world. As it certainly is for Canada
I don’t know why it has so many, maybe it is because the cops are focused on other crime and the property value is low.
Use of cannabis is highest in BC than anywere else in Canada. So it’s pretty chill everywhere but there are few cultural outlets in the burbs.
Vancouver on the other hand is were the culture resonates. We actually have cannabis cafĂ©’s must like in Holland but without the sales, as the ones who try to are quickly shut down. We also have had several Vape bars which I do not know if they have these in Holland. Both kinds of cafes come and go as they often start dealing, or they get busted with a bunch of product in the back. One that has been around for ever is the “Amsterdam CafĂ©” which is on the “Pot Block” with the BC Marijuana Party Bookstore
Which is owned by Marc Emery

Funny enough there are stores who actually deal, as there only operation. I know of two: one operates in an apartment near a cafĂ© and is owned by the Hells Angels (allegedly), and the other is one of Marc Emery’s associates
Vancouver has a large student population: 45 000 at UBC and also Vancouver CC, Langara College, Simon Fraser University is close, several art and music schools.
Generally you can openly smoke cannabis on the streets of Downtown. They can fine you, but never heard of anyone having a problem.
Coffee is very big on the west coast and this remains true here too. Although starbucks is very prevalent they do not make up 50% of the market, as there are many privet quirky shops around.
Vancouver has lots and lots of parks, you can check that out on google map. If you visit I recommend hitting up Stanly Park. It’s huge and kinda like an island that is barley joined to the downtown.
Police are very tolerant of weed. A friend knows a cop that acutely grows!! (not in van)
They realize they have better things to do.
I know a lot of Americans that come here and they just love it.
Maybe you should
oh
ps- the weather is fucking crazy. it must be climate change
all summer literally No rain at all. None
September comes, Huge rain storm for a few days coupled with a big ass wind storm. Cutting out power to like 300 000 people for 2-4 days
then that goes away, Snow storm Covering us with about 1.5-2 feet of snow.
it doesn’t snow here usually. and if it does it's later and like 1 inch for a day
WOW HARRIS..
Thanks
GREAT info.. I am eager to come up for a visit!!
cheers
Going by power consumption is retarded. I used to keep marine reef aquariums and I had 500w of MH power over it for 16 hours a day, and this was a small tank. I know people with 2000w - 5000w and more over their tanks. This doesn't take into account the very, very high draw water pumps etc. What are they gonna do? Come into someone's house who is breeding corals?
The whole idea of pot being illegal just pisses me off. The stupid measures that are used to try to catch harmless people who just wanna grow some herb and not hurt anyone piss me off just as much.
Next thing you know you're going to find some random guy in your backyard with a German sheperd "sniffing" around just to see what they could find because you've got a wheelbarrow and some potting soil in plain view.
Fucking lame.
Harris, perhaps you know of "Bongblaster", from Surrey? I met him years ago through Emery's HBC site then later flew up and met in person a couple times but have since lost contact with him. He had an excellent seed connection there with strains not found on the open market (Sticky #3 comes to mind) and have been trying to seek him out again. Same for Vic High, from the island. I haven't been back there since '02 but would love to come up again and hook up with old friends and meet new ones. I usually do this trip in January or February and have already got my plane tickets and made reservations at the downtown Holiday Inn, so time is short and any help you can give me is greatly appreciated!
madeline and Harris..
how is Surrey with tourists and Americans..? pretty friendly?
How about RVing... You think it would be easy to find places to park the RV (new 2003) without being hassled by the cops?
cheers
tourists are fine, but it is more expensive than it once was. I dont know anything about RVing
:rasta: Hi everybody,
Reading this thread and watching the news here.In orlando fl they busted a grow house in a nice subdivisonThey had been watching this house for sometime.They traced it back to New Jersey,they get illegal immigrants and buy houses for them to grow in.They pay the utiltys and pay the immigrants a pay check to grow for them.they grow it in every room in the house.After 2 years they give the house to the immigrants.They can keep the house or sell it or keep on growing in the house.The cops said they watch the house and had dogs sniffing around and checking on how many poeple come and go and live there.They had to get a warrenit to look at the utilty bills.And they can not use infrared imageing to bust you here.But you know cops they do it any way.And find something to bust you for ,so can use all of it to get you.
I know a few poeple that grow here and they have been at it for a few years they dont have cops coming around or checking the ele. bill.If you are using 1 to 4 lights and all the fans ect. as long as you pay the bill on time and in full you DONT HAVE TO WORRY about the ele.company calling the cops.They are capalist all they want is the money.The house they busted had a 150 lbs of cure pot and 1100 plants growing at the time it was busted.So one light or two just pay the bill and dont tell anybody what you are doing and you will be fine. well that's my two cents. Peice:weedpoke: :stoned:
