Thread: Grow-ops leave mortgage industry dazed & confused - Cannabis Culture Forums

Marijuana grow-ops have become a massive industry in Canada, and the negative effects are wide spread well beyond the realms of crime enforcement. Grow-ops also expose home buyers and lenders to mortgage fraud, said Marie Dyck, senior advisor, fraud, insurance, servicing, CMHC at the second annual CAAMP mortgage summit in Toronto. It was estimated that in B.C. alone there is some 18,000-20,000 grow-ops, while the police only have the capacity...

If growing were legal, this problem would end. Growers could openly use industrial buildings and greenhouses and not have to hide their grows in houses. If legal, the grower would also be able to get financing openly and in their own name without having to hide behind fake names and fraudulent mortgages.

Yes, the establishment is trying to find more and more ways to crack down on counter-cultures... now through backdoors more often than not. The home insurance and mortgage problem is just one of the facets with which the powers that be are trying to make cannabis culture unlivable in this country.

I also LOVE how automatically, if you are growing, you are using chemicals and insecticides at all, let alone enough for the ceilings to be "dripping" with them IF you live where you grow, I doubt you use tons of toxic chemicals near your loved ones/pets. Anyone in inspections ever hear of "organics?"
