The real crime here is that they're still using HPS lights in 2023.

[@dalegribble9101]

Because they are cheap for commercial purposes and they don't care about electricity consumption as they are often stealing it. LED is good but too pricey for these commercial setups. Nothing beats the sun though. My gals in Spain are always huge chonkers.

How many people get attacked by someone after they've smoked a joint? They might clean out a shop of crisps when they get the munchies😆😆 Police really need to use their resources for more important issues.!!!

[@philjames6206]

In bonkers Britain you can be jailed for smoking plants. Also because weed is illegal one is more likely to come into contact with class A's.

[@Siziusmopul]

Exactly, as a young teen this is exactly how I ended up using class As from the age of 11 till 24. This never would of happened if cannabis was legal and out of the hands of criminals and the black market. It was easier for me to get cannabis AND class A's as an 11 year old, than it was for me to get alcohol or ciggies... It doesn't make sense and either our government are totally incompetent, or it has all been purposely designed to be this way for specific reasons. I expect the latter.. If I was able to legally grow my own medicine, so many problems would be instantly solved. Suffering because of backwards outdated laws, thanks UK Gov 👍

[@5688gamble]

But growing opium is perfectly legal because someone in the government thinks it's a pretty flower, nothing stopping anyone making tea fom the pods you see everywhere in late summer. Apparently cannabis is a dangerous plant but poppies are fine coz people don't know what they are. Hmm.

Lmaooo I'm loving the comments. They think they're our heroes after doing this. Because they create a narrative that weed causes crime when they criminalise it by making it illegal. Forget the illusion of freedom of speech. Even e scooters they don't want people riding them unless they can make money from them. Here you go ride our rentals but everything else is illegal 😂👍🏾

Full hazzmat suites for weed,the only danger there is the wiring. Can see that becoming a fire hazard. Hate to see his electric bill. Fortunately here in South Africa our politicians woke up and decriminalized weed and are actively encouraging commercial cannabis agriculture to create jobs and offer low cost effective cannabis medicine, that has no adverse side effects, isn't physically addictive and you can't die from an overdose of. Unlike alcohol and nicotine which are both legal. You see their rich friends, who own the drug companies don't like competition. That is the only reason why cannabis is illegal,there is no other logical reason, to make it illegal.
