MILLBROOK — Cavan Monaghan Township, faced with possibly losing its revenue from gambling at Kawartha Downs, is considering setting up a medical marijuana grow operation at the former Millbrook Correctional Centre.
...


“It already comes with security,” he noted. “It used to be used for keeping people in. In this sense, it would be used for keeping people out.”

...

Under McFadden’s vision, the township would acquire the property from the province then find a private-sector partner. Together, they would take advantage of new regulations on the growing of medical marijuana.

If I need to point out the irony of using a building once housing cannabis criminals to now grow and sell pot for profit, you have smoked too much weed.

It's losing money on gambling, so it's going to diversify with pot. Seems reasonable.

Hell's Angel's in the area should be given the contract to run the pot prison.

• countless people have been locked up, harassed, or even died because of govmnt fueled prohibition now they want to profit off it?????
• using a jail where they housed these 'dangerous criminals' (are they going to be growing it too?)
• govmnt controlling medical marijuana when they denied that it was even a real thing
• all independed MJ growers are now out of buisness. GREAT
