Cannabis plants worth £175,000 found at Kimberley property - Nottinghamshire Live

A total of 177 cannabis plants were seized and a man was arrested by police following a drugs warrant in Kimberley.

The plants, with an estimate street value of £175,000, were found during the warrant at a property in Eastwood Road on Tuesday (September 29).

It comes as part of a crackdown by Nottinghamshire Police on drugs supply across the district, with numerous other cannabis crops seized in recent months.

Following the warrant, a 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of production of cannabis and he remains in police custody.

Neighbourhood Policing Sergeant Alison Bryan, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Today's activity, which was based on community intelligence, is in support of local policing priorities around targeting anti-social behaviour including drug use and supply across the Broxtowe neighbourhood policing area.

"Nottinghamshire Police takes drug-related crime incredibly seriously and we are pleased to have seized a large number of plants in this find.

“It is often said that cannabis production is not a serious crime, but this is simply not true.

“The cultivation of cannabis can often be linked to serious organised crime and other serious offences like human trafficking and modern slavery.

“Drugs can have a devastating impact on our local communities and it is important that we continue to take proactive action against organised criminals who seek to profit from illegal activity.

“We all have a role to play in keeping our local areas safe from drug-related crime which can have a negative impact on our communities and we will continue to pursue those individuals responsible.

“I’d like to reassure members of the public that we will continue to do all we can to disrupt this type of activity and to keep our communities safe.”

The force have also encouraged more people to get in touch on 101 if they believe there is production of drugs in their area.

If you have more information on the cannabis found in Kimberley, call Nottinghamshire Police on 101 quoting incident 272 of September 29.

The Half-Legal Cannabis Trap - POLITICO

The Half-Legal Cannabis Trap - POLITICO LOS ANGELES — Everything about Kelvin’s job in a neighborhood southwest of downtown seemed like any other assignment, if not a little more exciting. The 40-year-old, who had previously worked as an electrician, had been employed since 2015 by a private security company that contracted him out to guard marijuana dispensaries. In 2019, he was protecting one of the thousand or so cannabis stores in California’s biggest city—part of an industry that has grown less and less underground since 1996, when the state first legalized medical marijuana. Kelvin, who asked not to be identified beyond his middle name to avoid professional retaliation, doesn’t smoke pot, but says the gig felt like the future. He grew up in a time when other Black people he knew in Los Angeles would go to jail for possessing even small amounts of the drug. Now, customers could walk into shops like the one he was guarding, many of which can be identified by green crosses on...

Cannabis news worldwide -- Some Indian farmers are turning moon-gazers

Some Indian farmers are turning moon-gazers A growing number of cultivators opt for biodynamic techniques to give farming a zodiac twist Sarvdaman Patel , 69, stands between rows of legumes and parsley at high noon, but it is not the harsh sun that bothers him. He is obsessed with the moon. "It is currently in the Air sign which is ideal for flowering plants," he remarks, peering at the marigolds. Patel is no Bejan Daruwala. He is an Indian farmer who has been using biodynamic (BD) techniques for the last 16 years on his farm in Gujarat's Anand. The BD cultivation calendar is based on the moon's movement through each zodiac every two-and-a-half days covering all 12 signs every month. An unofficial estimate by the Biodynamic Association of India (BDAI) says about one lakh farmers in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab and Uttarakhand practise biodynamic farming. However, most of the produce is sold under the generic 'organic' label as few consumers unde...
