Manitoba information and situation

The Interior Plains are a vast expanse of land located on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains. More commonly referred to as the Prairies, this geographic region notably covers two provinces, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This predominantly flat and treeless terrain is where most of the productive agricultural farms in Canada can be found.

Not only can you find stunning amounts of farm crops over there, but also considerable loads of marijuana crops, which cause a real problem in the local communities. Cannabis, which is easily available to youth and adults, is the number one drug cultivated and trafficked in the plains. The Prairies are having grave drug addiction problems and have seen the demands for drug treatment centers increase over the years. These drugs were sorted out (in order of preference) in four categories, for both Manitoba and Saskatchewan: cannabis, cocaine, miscellaneous drugs (crystal meth, hallucinogens, GHB, steroids, etc.) and heroin. And the people who become addicted to those drugs need to get help in drug rehab centers.

The drug laws in Manitoba have been getting stiffer and there has been very little leniency taken with first time offenders and for that matter multiples offenders.  There was a story published in June of 2009 of a 28-year-old man, who had no previous criminal record.  He was sentenced to three and half years in jail for the possession of cocaine with the intent to traffic.  He was also sentenced to an additional one year in jail because he had in his possession an illegal firearm.  When law enforcement officials executed the search warrant, they found in his apartment $32,000 worth of cocaine; nearly one kilogram, $800 cash, and the police also seized a loaded Ruger handgun.  “A great deal of pain, heartache and other harm accompanies (drug abuse),” said Justice Ken Hanssen. “One way to combat drug abuse is to reduce the supply of drugs. One way to reduce the supply of drugs is to ensure that sentences, even for first time offenders, serve as a real deterrent to potential drug traffickers.”
