Default CAN: U.S. officials still concerned about increased Canadian marijuana shipments

U.S. officials still concerned about increased Canadian marijuana shipments
March 5, 2005 | cbc.ca | CP

U.S. officials remain concerned about potential increases in Canadian-produced marijuana crossing the border in light of proposed cannabis legislation, said a State Department report released Friday.

There's already been an increase in U.S. seizures of Canadian marijuana, much of it more potent and profitable than what's grown south of the border. To combat that problem and others, officials want to share more intelligence with Canada, expand joint training and operations and work with Canadian officials to increase penalties for drug criminals, said the annual narcotics control strategy report.

The report noted the two countries already have an "excellent" law-enforcement relationship and said 2004 was a "productive " year for Canada in fighting the drug trade.

The departments applauded Canadian efforts to curb cross-border smuggling of chemicals used to manufacture various drugs. It also noted Canada's plan to target organized crime behind marijuana-growing operations.

But it said Canadian financial institutions remain vulnerable to money-laundering and terrorist financing from illegal drug sales.

Canada needs to keep actively participating in international groups dedicated to fighting those crimes and continue efforts in the timely sharing of financial information, it said.

You need to put away the pipedream as cannabis isn't going to be legalized any time soon especially after the killing of those 4 Mounties. The Canadian politicians are luke warm about the idea BUT the US politicians are of one mind about pot and they won't tolerate legalized pot in a country that shares such a long unprotected border with the US....if they feel it falls under a national security issue then theres no telling what will happen then.

I think that what would happen is that america would do some stupid drug war in canada, coming after our drugs. Just like they did to Iraq.

I think it'd be more like Colombia.

They'll turn the Canadian border into the Mexican border.. and Canada will have mounties that ride back and forth, keeping US immigrants away.

Default It'll Still Get Through, Or We'll Turn To Domestic Grow-Ops

No matter how many busts are made at the border there are still tons that get through. The shipper is always gonna be one step ahead of the law enforcement. Always has been, always will be.

Besides, the drug the man was growing or producing wouldn't have mattered. The RMCP would have still busted him.

The problem is prohibition.

You would think that they would be happy, i mean they are catching more at the border right. They are "winning", whip out the hero cookies and pass'em around. The problem here is that they refuse to see thing in a positive light. Let them have there prizes and show how they stopped the bad men while the world keeps turning round on the axis of irony.
