[Weedpipe]

CALGARY — A call for an ambulance from an industrial area strip mall resulted in no one being found in need of medical help — instead, cops found a marijuana operation worth more than $500,000.

Police said ambulance paramedics were called a medical distress alarm in the 1400-block of 44 Ave N.E. But as ambulance personnel looked in, a man disappeared out of sight.

Cops were called because of the possibility someone may indeed be in need of medical help. They broke in and smelled marijuana.

"Officers immediately smelled a strong odour of Marijuana while searching the premise for a person in possible medical distress.

A male was located hiding in the rafters on the second floor, unharmed and in no medical distress," police said.

"He was arrested as officers discovered a large Cannabis Marijuana grow operation, with an estimated street value of nearly 1/2 million dollars," police added.

A Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) search warrant will be executed on the business premises. The investigation continues.

in a strip mall? What the hell were they thinking?? and what were they growing? MJ could never get you high enough to think that you can honestly get away with growing in a strip mall, can it? keep in mind, I was born and raised in the Portland metro area, and was blessed with options for my unquenchable palette.
