Police seize suspected cocaine and cannabis in West Belfast raids - Belfast Live

Two arrests have been made after thousands of pounds worth of suspected cocaine and cannabis was seized following raids in West Belfast.

Detectives from the Paramilitary Crime Task Force investigating crime linked to the INLA, seized suspected cocaine with an estimated value of £3,000, £8,400 of suspected cannabis and £4,000 in cash, following searches in the city today.

A man and a woman, both aged 28, have since been arrested on suspicion of a number of drug offences, and are currently in police custody.

Detective Inspector Hamilton said: “The PCTF will continue to proactively investigate suspected drug criminality linked to the INLA at every opportunity.

"Today’s search and arrests are further evidence of our commitment to tackle drug criminality linked to paramilitaries and reduce the harm caused by drugs in the community. 

"Drugs cause misery to users, their families and the wider community, and the proceeds of their sale are used to fund paramilitary activity.

"Today’s search provides further evidence to the community that; we care about what is important to them, we will listen to what they tell us and we act on the information they provide us.

"I would therefore encourage members of the community who may have information that could assist our efforts to tackle the blight of drugs, to please get in touch.

"You can call 101, or you can submit a report online using our non-emergency reporting form via  http://www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/.



"The independent charity Crimestoppers can also be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at  http://crimestoppers-uk.org/."

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...
