'I ran a cannabis farm from my council flat' BBC News
The number of police raids on commercial cannabis farms has fallen by over 17% in the last year, Freedom of Information figures suggest.
Jamie Barnes, from Dagenham, was convicted in 2015 of cannabis cultivation after he grew the drug in his council flat. He was given a suspended sentence and probation. He told the Victoria Derbyshire programme he was more worried about the prospect of being robbed by fellow criminals than being caught by police.

2 million in the uk smoke weed try 40 million.
Imagine using a battering ram on a door for a small grow… of weed
It’s all political bullshit, if they made it legal to grow a set number of plants they’d remove most of organised crimes involvement, for a drug thats never killed anyone directly. The UK is a country where the only people licensed to grow it are friends of the politicians.
The most dangerous thing about cannabis is being arrested with it! Can destroy your life for growing a plant! “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”
King James Version (KJV)
The BBC c an fuck off…and take their licence with them.

Did he just say "the law isn’t controversial at the moment" – what planet does this reporter live on exactly? Legalise it already, the public want it, the police want it, get on with it parliament and do the right thing.

The first narcotic i tried was alcohol. Far more damaging than cannabis.Sold under government licencing. Thanks society.
Dear police
Please stop
Boppers
They need to legalise it
To think if it was legal he could have opened a shop and employed people who might not of had jobs stopping homeless in UK but I guess they want people to be homeless
