thanks for the heads-up!
Damn that sucks, sorry to hear it. Four hundred some odd plants, that's gonna hurt the end user. Hope you guys like that resin they said was a seventh as strong.

Yeah tell me about it. I'm out in Margate so am feeling the dryness you mention. Over the last two weeks the police have taken "A significant amount of cannabis off the streets of Thanet" to quote the gazzet. There's been reports of a farm being raided and cleard of 4,000 plants and roughly two weeks ago a number of people were arrested throughout the south east and London regarding cannabis cultivation and supply.
Couldn't find anything last week regardless of who i rang. Got sick of waiting for people to get back to me and looked elsewhere. Went out looking and approached about 6 people who all said they dont smoke/couldn't get it/ asked one more person and was hooked up with an 1/8 so there is weed out there you just gotta ask around.
But yeah, the only thing really feeling the higness is the dryness.

"Now more than 60% is produced in Britain and we are currently finding two to three factories in London a day. This is a growing crime problem across the country."
60% eh, yeah we grow our own!!:cool:

Well, if they're using child slave labor, I'm actually glad THOSE places got busted. There's another reason to legalize too: get the fuckin' dangerous criminal organizations out of the pot loop entirely. 'If you're against pot, you're for child slave labor!' Hmm, not a bad slogan. ;)

This is one of the things that give cannabis a bad name, the gangs involved in the growth and distribution and what their profits fund. Legalise and most of the bad things associated with cannabis will cease!

All you have to tell the government is that the drug's business is the 3rd largest business in the world.

Well I read someplace that Amerca could make well over $1 billion per year if they regulated weed like they did with alcohol and ciggs.
And down here in Northamptonshire, its pretty dry too. Wandered around the pubs last night for the evening trying to find some bud, met about 4 dealers and they were ALL dry. On the way back home though, we walked past a couple of people on my street so I asked them if they smoked. Luckily, we were able to pick up an eighth. Usually a piece of piss to pick stuff up around here though.

Sorry to hear you're dry bro, probably something to do with all these local busts! I'm in Bedfordshire all seems to well at present, touch wood!! Hope it rains for you soon! Glad to see you used your noggin and went out asking the right kinda folk instead of resorting to an online deal, its bound to go Pete Tong!
Peace

Say, perhaps we're on the right track. Maybe we should WANT people to get busted and thrown in jail for pot. See, once there are more people in jail than there are out of jail, we can bust out and throw everyone ELSE in prison for throwing US in prison. Political judo!
I'm kidding, of course, but at least in the U.S., sheesh, there are a lot of people in prison now, so it's not as far-fetched an idea as it might seem!

"Analysis of recent homegrown hauls detected THC levels as high as 20%, nearly seven times higher than samples of imported resin, which used to be the predominant form of the drug on the streets, and typically contain around 3% THC. Experts fear this could have health implications for the country's 2 million regular cannabis users."
3% THC? - So it's better for our health to be smoking Soapbar?!?!

I fink the whole thing is a litle fucked... Saw 'Tenants from Hell' on ITV1 lastnight. Showed a 'Cannabis Factory' (the words they use) in some womans house. The woman had no idea what was going on in her house as she had rented it out and left the country to work and live elsewhere. Just so happened she returned to England and was not able to gain entrance to her house. Some vietnamese lookin dude must have answered the door and tried to get rid of her (as you would if you had a cannabis factory in someone else's house and they didn't know).. Long story short, she should have asked for her CUT and not got the po po involved...She could have asked for 30% at least and not bothered with the cops..Dickhead!!... Anyone else see it? They aren't even gangs or war lords. They are just clever chinese looking dudes who make a shyt load of cash with tens and tens of grow setups across the uk (mainly south england). Sometimes it would make sense to import some peeps and get them working for you; water your 160plants daily for 2 and a half months then give them £1000 at the end. That way the chief seldom gets busted and there is a perpetual income of around £30-40k or more every week or two... Big Shame that non smokers and some smokers have no respect for the production of herb!
