HALDIMAND—Local MPP Toby Barrett is encouraging residents who object to designated marijuana grow-ops who are bending the rules to sign MP Diane Finley’s petition on the topic.

Designated marijuana grow-ops differ from the licensed commercial operations. Some designated grow-ops are taking advantage of a loophole in the law that lets another person grow plants for personal use for those with a prescription for medical marijuana. These greenhouses are growing for many people with such prescriptions.
