The hidden community of middle-class professionals growing their own cannabis in garden sheds, cupboards, and the Welsh

I found this:

That was good read until the end. What a load of shit... Gateway drug and causes domestic violence my arse!

Actually... High THC strains did lead me to trying high CBD strains and I'm planning on a CBG grow so maybe he's right

A spokesperson for South Wales Police said: "Production of cannabis is controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and there are no exceptions to the legislation

Wrong, there are licences issued for growing for medical use, although to get one it helps to be mates with a top tory

"Medicinal cannabis is prescribed on a case by case basis by specialist registrars, for individuals who meet the medical criteria.

This sentence appears to be correct....

"This is not in the form of female flowering head (FFH) cannabis which is the material harvested from the cannabis plant and which contains potent THC and can cause serious health issues over a prolonged period of time, especially in young people.

Wrong and wrong. I get prescribed flos by my doctor:
as for the unnamed health issues, this just sounds like the normal disinformation we have had for the last century or so with little basis in actual medical research, the dangers of long term cannabis use pale in comparison to long term opiate use which is what I was prescribed on the NHS before I stopped it.

"‘Recreational use’ is not recognised by the Drugs Sentencing Counsel or the courts and is a term that is used by individuals who believe it helps with anxiety and stress.

What? First, there is a dearth of research to show it does help with anxiety and stress, secondly, that would be self medication not recreational use, somebody needs a dictionary...

"Some of the FFH cannabis being produced exceeds 20% THC levels. This compares with around 4% THC in Cannabis Resin.

Half right this sentence, many strains do exceed 20% THC, including the first one I got prescribed by sapphire. Secondly, that is some shitty hash, if you still have that dictionary to hand, consider looking up the word 'concentrate'

"Another factor to consider is the length of time THC stays in the blood stream. Smoking cannabis can be detected two days after use and does this have an impact on their daily life?

Yes it can, if fact weeks after is more likely in long term use but why the vague question at the end?

"Of particular concern is driving a vehicle while under the influence of drugs. Should the driver be involved in an accident and bloods taken, how would this effect any claims/liability?

Shouldn't the police be aware of this, not asking another vague question?

"FFH Cannabis can have serious implications on a person’s health, is considered as a gateway to more harmful drugs and also seen as a trigger to other crime such as domestic violence.

Who does this considering? Is there any actual proof about this? Or just an unsubstantiated opinion byvthe officer who wrote this nonsense? I can see how spice may have this effect but not the natural plant.

"Furthermore production is regarded as an extremely lucrative business and South Wales Police will continue to enforce such offences in line with Home Office and force policy."

Standar fare...
