Lol - I mean I did spend 3 years at uni!!!
I think its hillarious they got caught! Whenever me and DH heard the radio advert we'd be like 'is this for real!?!'. Soooo dodgy! But if they are actually stupid enough to be directly involved with drug trafficking as well as selling growing equipment they deserve everything they get. Stoooooopid!

I figured they were dodge too, but I guess the cops were biding their time in order to throw the net as wide as possible.
Personally I think it's sad that people seem to think illegal drugs are *cool*, or a right of passage or whatever. So not necessary, and so not cool IMO. For me it had nothing to do with my parents - I always make my own decisions and I think there are much better things to do with my time and money, not to mention my body! Each to their own though

I don't think I did it cause it was cool - along with underage drinking it was one of those things I did. Sometimes I liked it and sometimes I didn't. It was mostly lack of supply and fear of getting caught that put me off.
I don't have a problem with marijuana - I'm pro-legalisation for personal use.
It has lots of medicinal benefits and is no more harmful than cigarettes and alcohol.

me too.. but maybe that's because I live in Manurewa.
They have been around for so long as a store I figured they were just selling the stuff you needed for growing not the actual product?

Hmmm... for a start I think I should go to the naughty corner too...
I knew there was alot of dodgyness about the place... they sold kits to help you avoid testing positive in drug tests amongst other things...
but I didn't think they would be dumb enough to actually be involved in the growing etc. Now they will loose everything... proceeds of crimes act.
I know a guy who went in and they basicly wrote down exactly what to do (sold him a book too) and helped him start off his crop... they even sold him the plant to start from.. he learnt how to do grafts and everything from the guys at SOG. Amazing detail and time goes into it all... the guy I knew was busted for it and moved on to cooking P instead... uses less power aparently (he was busted for dope due to the fact his power consumption was so high!)... then he got sprung for P... and that was the last we heard of him as once we found out all of this stuff we stopped talking to him.

i have been in the shop a lot but only because we have tropical fish and they had a lot of cheap gear (air hose, air pumps etc) the guy always asked me what i want it for and if i need advise!
we kind of guessed that they were selling drugs there was no way they could have things that cheap if it wasnt dodgy

Lol *raises hand* rebel here too, and I find it funny that the police operation was only going for 2 years, coz its been longer than that since I touched the stuff yet it was common knowledge that was the place to go, for all things "green"
