Hydroponic grow shop owners arrested for promoting cannabis in Finland

Finnish police arrest Hydroponic shop owners for promoting cannabis | IceNews - Daily News



Tampere police have also searched a range of addresses belonging to customers. â??We have found a significant amount of marijuana in the searches,â?� said Officer Jari Luoto. Home growers are also alleged to feature prominently on internet message boards

Yeah it's pretty shitty, but Finland is a police state largely influenced by old American anti-cannabis propaganda, still ingrained in the minds of most Finns.

Funny thing is, there have actually been a record amount of formal complaints issued by indoor chili growers after police have searched their homes. There was one case in the newspaper where a man went to a hydro store to buy ph down for his hydro chili garden and got stopped by undercover police outside the shop. They examined his purchases and asked to see his garden.

The good thing is, for small grows (around 5 plants) you only get a fine.

Hopefully this will have a good impact for us growers in Finland: http://boards.cannabis.com/current-e...alization.html

yup id have agree sounds a bit american but they are trying to close the
grow shops in ireland with a similar law thanks to the headshops

sure can't we just take a trip up the north and get whatever we want there if they do.:thumbsup:

we could but the u.k. is looking at our legislation and
about to follow suit so that will leave the web

i don't see them closing down the grow shops as they aren't a problem as the head shops were by selling to kids. but ireland loves banning crap. it won't be long before they try to ban parts off the web, eircom has all ready started the ball rolling on that one.

yup true enough place is going to the dogs time to skin up :thumbsup:

The Psychotropic Substances Bill also makes it illegal to sell objects used to cultivate drugs by hydroponic means and allows for penalties of up to five years in prison and fines of â?¬5,000 upon conviction.

The main points of new legislation published today make it an offence to sell, supply or advertise hallucinogenic drugs previously sold in head shops
