Southall in West London UK huge Cannabis bust on Hammond Road
For those who live in the West London area will know that at one point Southall was the hub of the Heroin trade but it now seems that with the boom of marijuana around the world especially the USA giving it so much exposure it is inevitable that the demand will increase.
On Hammond Road in Southall the police busted a house that was growing about 40 marijuana plants and also three garages in the back fully equiped with hydroponic systems also growing more marijuana plants.
Only one man was arrested but is on bail and now the real question is, just how big is the demand for marijuana? It use to be the Cocaine was the preferred drug of choice especially amongst the middle class but what we are gradually seeing is the marketing of marijuana through the legalization and buzz of the herb leading to more people in for example the UK wanting to buy it. When there is demand there has to be supply and in the UK where it is illegal to grow and posses cannabis, organised gangs will fill the void in production and distribution.
Good Police Action! I have been campaigning for years for legalization of cannabis and Cannabis Seeds Sale in the UK. I can only welcome actions that ensure the law is upheld and that the best example for legalization in Europe is successful. The Netherlands has the lowest amount of Cannabis users in % compared to any other European country, proving legalization works. Thousands of users and growers in the UK are still pushed in the criminal circuit because of the current legislation. The UK has a very two fold system buying cannabis seeds online on sites such as http://www.cannabisbroker.com is legal. These companies sell all the main strains of marijuana globally as souvenirs… because germinating and growing the seeds is illegal! When looking at the turnover of these companies I can only deduct that growing cannabis is widely done in the UK and Europe! Maybe it is time to decriminalize the sale and growth for personal consumption. This will help fund the stricken UK economy and undoubtedly have a positive impact on the NHS and Police Services
