Sad News on RC...PLEASE READ...

[Desiderata]

...I hope the truth comes out and whoever is in the right/wrong is properly painted either in the vibrant colours they so richly deserve or tarred by the same brush they chose to smear the community with..

Take Care and Keep it green Folks

How about a pink hat, an orange shirt, with turquoise pants, and purple shoes? The truth is out. When someone gets busted then the whole world changes in a nutshell. It's hell, bros! What else has this been like besides a nightmare or living in hell? Jail is HELL! that's a bummer thought. RC is not a happy camper right now! I wonder why?

 

[Guest]

he will be fine. he knew what he was getting into. peace!

 

[Guest]

RC will get off easily on the charges compared to what he will face from this community if this is all a scam on all of us good folks...

In other words, he's pretty much fucked either way and will be watchin his backside for quite awhile...whether it be in prison...or out on the street.

RCMP bust Internet drug ring

ALLISON DUNFIELD AND INGRID PERITZ

Globe and Mail Update

Montreal RCMP announced Tuesday that they have cracked an international drug ring that distributes marijuana on the Internet.

Seven people were arrested in connection with the operation of the company Heaven's Stairway, which used various sites with names such as cannabisworld.com and overgrow.com in the importing, exporting and trafficking of cannabis seeds over the Internet.

As well, the RCMP seized 200,000 seeds.

Staff Sergeant André Potvin, chief of operations for the Montreal drug section of the RCMP, said the marijuana seeds were supplied in bulk from countries including New Zealand and Holland, and then shipped out in small amounts to customers across Canada, the U.S. and Europe. The centre of the operation was Montreal.

"This is a major and large-scale operation," he said.

"It was centralized, very organized, and active around the world."

Police said the websites run by the Internet company also included tips on how to grow the seeds and how to avoid police.

All of those arrested live in Montreal, with the exception of one suspect, who lives in Ville Saint-Laurent. They face a total of 49 charges and if convicted, could spend up to 10 years in jail.

"The organization processed approximately 30 orders of cannabis seeds a day averaging $100 each. The seeds were sent to clients by regular mail," a statement from Montreal RCMP said.

The seeds produced high-grade marijuana and sold for $7 to $10 each. They were usually mailed out in shipments of 10 to 15 seeds per package, and destined for grow operations, Staff Sgt. Potvin said.

The police first made seizures in January which netted them a big haul.

The total amount of seeds seized during the searches could have made possible the distribution of 42 million joints on the street, police said.

"On one given day, if we can put our hands on 200,000 seeds, which can produce 42 million joints, obviously it's a major operation," Staff Sgt. Potvin said.

If they want me - they can come freaking get me! The FACT is that no sane judge from my province would be stupid enough to give me anything more than a slap on the wrist for just a few plants. Also, I have never sold any to anyone - period - so there is no evidence of that.

It's all for personal/recreational use, if they force me to "hide" behind a federal "medical" license for growing / consumption I WILL find a doctor that will write me a prescription, apply for a license and then they can really and truly *kiss my white ass*.

Too bad about Hempcultivation.com Rick took everything offline and deleted all records to keep us safe. I think he made the right move. Very sad but in these uncertain times we need to protect ourselves as much as possible.

At least the police still need warrants to raid Canadian homes - too bad they are collecting warrants like hockey cards now though...

Keep yer heads up folks, we will get through this. They can't stop the shining

How about a pink hat, an orange shirt, with turquoise pants, and purple shoes...

Dammit, theres one less outfit we can wear now.

With all these busts going on in canada and all the security issues with overgrow and other sites, how safe is vancouver???I am asking because I am planning a move up there to introduce 2 strains i ve been working on from texas. I got busted last year growing outdoors so i know the feeling.Good luck to every one going through the bullshit.

 

[Harry Gypsna]

well i suppose that does prove that he was actually busted...so some vindication from that side eh....

Fortunately and unfortunately for me i had to tear down early since my landlord started touring my home when i was on vacation

It's like having a chunk of my life erased ....truly sad ....

Hey all. As someone that used to rely heavily on this community's knowledge, it saddened me that when I randomly (I don't even know why) looked up the Heaven's Stairway site, I found out all of this info about a huge bust. Over the past couple years my hobbies have changed (forget growing... I no longer even smoke!), however I still appreciate all of the advice and great times that I got from this community. My heart goes out to all of those affected by the arrests & I wish you the best. To everyone else, do me a favor and burn one for me.

RC won't serve a day in jail, other than those long days he had to suffer before we all found out what happened to poor ol' RC. Believe it or otherwise, RCMP made RC an offer he couldn't refuse.

What did happen to RC? Anybody know for sure?? Before he's running a multi-million dollar, Internet-based, so-declared illegal biz, and now he's so willing to sell out in lieu of becoming D-block's newest bitch that he won't even post 'ONE, VERIFIABLE, FOOLPROOF' response to his OVER-concerned Overgrow, HS posse???

F*ck this hampster, let's all move on!!! I bought, or should I say paid, for seeds from this MF back in December, six weeks went by b/f he got busted, and I still had not received my seeds. Another supplier in the Netherlands came through with some gorgeous feminized bitches that you fools won't believe, in just 3 friggin days. Quit dwelling on this lying, ratting, me-first piece of sh()t. Go Dutch!!!

Yea Go Away All you OG noobs

 

[MrChronic]

I am willing to bet one of his stipulations in the case is that he can't use a computer.. so foreveryone that is in a bunch about him not officially replying.. get a clue.

 

[KharmaGirl]

Oh, they know that, they just expect him to violate that condition

 

[GoodbyeBlueSky]

there's a difference between not using a computer and not making a public statement... which in theory could be relayed by whoever, wherever, and with whatever media they so choose... (think TV, newspapers, etc...)

so the whole 'can't use a computer' excuse doesn't hold up as far as i'm concerned...

We'd better go underground

We'd better go underground

…If you're a big grower, the risks are always there, If you are a small personal grower with good security, I don't believe you have anything new to worry about.
…Passive resistance. They can never get us all. and more than likely will never even get 1% of us. More growers more information and more attention.

True, we should go underground and multiply.

…according to cannabis culture(M.Emery), RC has simply disappeared, no bust.

…Narc went crying like a Bitch and begging all the poor people that he already ripped ,for more money for himself, what a loser. anyone that would believe that scumbag, who has serious mental problems and is just a plain loser as a person(waste of flesh) and detramental to the whole MJ community…

Slander can never help! Slander was proliferating on Overgrow, so please don’t start it here.

disclosure invalidtes the deal is a viable possibility.
