Now That's a Lot of Pot

It is also an excellent illustration of the ingenuity that massive profits will produce: Ontario police seize 30,000 pot plants in former brewery:

Calling it the largest and most sophisticated marijuana operation in Canadian history, Ontario police said they have seized 30,000 plants which they say is worth more than $30 million in a former Molson brewery facility.

[...]

Police said the growers used more than 5,574 square metres in the operation. They also had living accommodations for up to 50 people, including common areas, televisions, refrigerators and stoves.

More than 1,000 grow lights were used, police said.

According to police, millions of dollars were invested in equipment for the operation, which was capable of producing up to three or four crops a year. Vats previously used by the brewery housed hundreds of plants.
