    Calgary man gets a year for growing opium poppies

    Gurdev Samra’s garden of opium poppies once offered him a euphoric cup of tea, but on Monday it made him the first man in Canada to be convicted of growing the illicit plant.

    Samra, 63, was handed a one year conditional sentence after pleading guilty to growing 1,200 opium poppy plants at his Calgary home, which was busted by police last July.

    Man, how come I didn't hear about this? Eh, maybe because opium isn't such a big deal when the gangbangers and drug dealers are getting shot by the local cops.
