Wet summer shrinks B.C. pot crop
Fewer plants, smaller yields found after chilly growing season
A cold, wet summer has hit the Vancouver Island pot crop hard, stunting plants and likely putting some grow-ops out of business. The RCMP destroyed just over 7,000 marijuana plants this summer, about a quarter of last year’s yield. The Mounties use helicopters to seek out island grow-ops before officers move in and seize the plants. An RCMP spokesman says this year’s crop is considerably smaller on average than in previous years.
