blu - no contest - the grow op played a part in the whole package of that creeps history, which included violence from the time he was very young, and the minister lady is simply pointing out that the forthcoming 'legalization' legislation, proposes much stiffer than current penalties for trafficing, and could even be strenghtened - ie: the fact that a grow op was there plays a part in politics, particularly the politics of a minority govt

I'm just pointing out that it wasn't the fact that the guy was growing pot that resulted in him opening fire, but the fact that he was a violence prone psycho who was known to possess deadly weapons and the will to use them - most of his family had 'disowned' him before he was outta school, and the entire community avoided him like the plague - sad situation, but not very related to growing anything
