US, Russian Troops Get Green Light For Nicaragua Training Ops
On Monday, November 4th, 2013, the Police of the Czech Republic launched an unprecedented operation evidently aimed at liquidating growshops, i.e. shops with accessories for growing plants. These shops offer entirely legal products, mainly growing technology, substrates, fertilizer and plant seeds. During the state-wide raid, more than 50 such shops that have been in business legally for many years had been cleared out by policemen without warning. All this based on a questionable legal article concerning the spreading of toxicomania (spreading of non alcoholic drug abuse) and a judicial decision of the Supreme Court from 2012 by which the owners of a garden store were given a suspended sentence for spreading toxicomania.
