Didn't you find it suspicious that the local corner-shop was always low on mars-bars and packets of wotsits!?

1,425 plants, they could say they were for personal use and get away with it

I had a similar situation a couple of years back. The industrial unit next to mine, one evening I went down there and looked like the entire Lincs police force were there. They went away with three Luton vans full of weed. I never knew anything about it, which is I guess the way they want it.

I've been renting a barn for nearly a year now, got a delivery a couple of months back and the driver said "oh I know this place, there was a huge raid on a cannabis factory... yeah it was that one there" (pointing to our barn) Must have been quite a few years ago as when we moved in there was just straw and pig poo

I wonder if they had change of use planning permission, the council is very hot on that sort of thing

There was a canabis factory just 60 yards up the road from my house.
No one suspected until the police raided it.

They had bypassed the electricity meter, which is usual for this sort of factory as paying for the leccy would reduce their profit margin.
Was run by a couple of orientals who were nice to talk to acording to the neighbours, just a bit quiet and reserved.
They were just caretakers for the bigger fish.

Police sweep housing estates at night with their helicopters thermal imaging camera, as this spots them relatively easily due to the heat plume form the house. Namely several Kw of hot lighting on 24/7 in the house to bring the plants on.

Downside of all this, is that the Camabis that people cultivate nowadays are hybrid strains and they are much much stronger.
This Skunk stuff, is really dangerous. It gives rise to physical and mental conditions. A woman in our office abt 8 years ago, was a user, and ended up comitting suicide. Was a tragic affair, as she was divorced, and a real cracker. When she was in a good mood she was realy good fun. What a waste

Such a sad affair, as she worked on our team for over 12 years and over 20+ years on the company that I know of.

Yeah it's odd they haven't tried something to combat the heat signature...

As for the stronger strains, well I stopped about 4 years ago (nearly) now and still sometimes when something bangs behind me or my memory is a blank I still believe the green is having an effect on me.

9 years since i gave up, i can remember long bank numbers but have no idea what i did yesterday

Nothing they can do about the heat sig, whilst they are using those lights. If you keep the heat in the plants ruin, and if you let it out, the helecopter spots it. Maybe they will fund the research into LED lights to replace the halide and sodium ones!

When you have immigrants who started as farmers, they look for the biggest paying jobs farming. If there were no demand, they wouldn't do it. Simple.
