Cannabis Was About To Hit The Streets

[Wilbur]

Police say cannabis crops worth £150,000 were just a few days from hitting the streets of Peterborough, when officers stormed a city home this morning, Thursday, November 9.

They say about 400 plants were found growing in a detached family home in Thurning Avenue, Stanground, after police staged an early morning wake-up call to residents living at the address.

Aside from the kitchen, a small front room and the bathroom, each room in the three-bedroom suburban home was tightly packed with plants – which were almost ready to be harvested.

This is the 104th cannabis raid to take place in the city, as part of the force's successful "Door A Day" campaign, which has been running since March.

Wearing a mask to protect cannabis spores which irritate the lungs, DC Shanie Nayar said: "From the outside, this house looked nothing like a drugs factory, however,inside we have discovered hundreds of cannabis plants with a street value of about £150,000. It just goes to show that even the most unlikely of neighbourhoods can be targeted."

Three men, aged 45, 30 and 25, were arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis.

What the hell are they talking about i have never heard anything like that before. I thought spores come from fungus not plants. I guess he thinks they are some moldy plants.

It's amazing how little the "authorities" know about the plant or the process. If they are still growing, how are they a few days from hitting the streets - are they going to be smoked wet?

And what are spores? Is this some kind of invasion of the body snatchers myth? I'd agree the flowering plants are highly aromatic - but they smell fabulous, and are not some kind of toix threat akin to 3 mile island.

Can this be conscious error, or simple idiocy
