Another big nose busted for growing weed

[tommy525]

I hope they beat the rap, they seem like pretty normal people (outside of the bongo@midnite sessions).

People should really smart up. Maryjane is a huge offense on the wan. If you have to smoke grass, smoke the same kind the cows eat.

AMERICAN!!!”

Of course it was an American. All Taiwanese know that only foreigners buy/sell/grow/use drugs.

[quote=“alidarbac”]That Yahoo article mentioned that the Chilean woman who was arrested also opened a restaurant in Taipei city, though they declined to say the name. I wonder if it’s that South American restaurant with the English-only signs I’ve seen riding my bike up in the vicinity of New Garden City. Has anyone ever been to that restaurant?

It seems to be called Cafe del Mar 拉丁美洲風味素食餐廳 I haven’t been there but it sounds nice.[/quote]
Great restaurant. But it’s not in Taipei City.

I suspect that “Taipei City” is a misreportage in the Yahoo article. Google the English and Chinese name of the restaurant in my earlier post and you will see that it is located near New Garden City where all these folks were busted, and is run by a woman of the same name as the Chilean woman mentioned in the Yahoo Article.

@flatlandr

Dead plants, ancient stems, 3 cell phones and a computer? For shame, forrrr shaaame.

Indeed. The supply of ditch weed is now constricted to a steady drip.
Huzzah!

But the very friendly and accommodating couple who run that South American restaurant near New Garden City are both Chilean (married with one daughter and another child on the way when I went there about ten months ago). Though I remember that there was a second South American woman there, so perhaps she’s the owner or main owner or whatever, and it’s her. It would be a great pity if she got into trouble over something so silly.

Yes, from the pictures on the web it looks like a very inviting place and the food looks tasty.

Oh dear. These people live three or four doors down from me. They’re not bad sorts, and I’ve never heard any noise from them.

I saw that big green pot plant on the road near their house earlier this week. I had no idea what it was. It was there for ages, and I was considering taking it home and sticking it on my balcony if it remained unclaimed any longer.

[zender]

Perhaps it was you, playin’ yer bongos, that attracted all the attention. :neutral:

[Belgian_Pie]

As far as I know it’s a vegan restaurant … weed could be an ingredient …

[Chris]

Maybe they were watching the 700 Club with the volume on too high, and the cops came.

Why the 700 Club?

Just… you… watch!

Anyone who does know them and whose number is in their mobiles…stash your stash well. Better yet smoke it all in one go. :beatnik:

[Feiren]

It’s not just pointy noses (c’mon folks, no one in Taiwan calls us big noses. We are A-dok-a, ‘beakies’).

A Taiwanese couple were just busted in Xizhi for growing weed. Appears to have been a much larger operation. 68 plants.

[dearpeter]

Just FYI to everyone. The Cafe Del Mar is on the Wulai Rd. near New Garden City (not in) but it unfortunately closed down – permanently as far as I know. The Chilean owners do not live in New Garden City. I presume they have nothing to do with this affair and wouldn’t appreciate being discussed in this thread. I don’t think people should speculate on things lest they cause the fuzz to go bother others who may not be involved in any way. Who knows what the fuzz read?

That’s got to suck getting busted for two half-dead plants.
