An cannabis farm bust…

Quote:

Alarm alerts police to drugs farm

The court heard the laboratory could provide a yield every 17 weeks

A cannabis farm in an isolated cottage was uncovered by police responding to an intruder alarm, a court has heard. Police called to Kennox Cottage near Glespin, South Lanarkshire, found 270 plants capable of producing up to £27,000 worth of cannabis.

, 32, of Hareleeshill Road, Larkhall, admitted farming the drug between 14 July and 3 November, 2004, and being concerned in its supply.

Sentence at the High Court in Glasgow was deferred until next month.

bought the cottage for £80,000 in November 2003.

Michael Meehan, prosecuting, said the laboratory was capable of producing a yield every 17 weeks.

During their search, police found a receipt for £3,789 from a firm which supplies equipment for hydroponics.

This is a method of growing crops in a nutrient-rich water.

Mr Meehan showed the judge Lord Wheatley photographs of the crop being grown under lights with fans to keep the plants cool, a humidifier and a nursery area.

as the title says really, went out saturday night, bowling and a couple of drinks, wasn’t even tipsy, went back to my mates had bit of a smoke, felt fine, bit more chatty than usual, but felt good.

went home, and was sat outside the front door havin a ciggy when the security light switched off like it usually does after a couple off minutes, next thing i’m gettin really really edgy, start to hyperventilate and don’t dare move! then i see what i can only describe as a ‘spidercat, running around the lawn and the driveway, then somebody keeps poking their head out from behind the pillar that holds up the porch.

didnt dare drink my glass of coke cos i thought it was poisoned, managed to get to my room, in tears for no reason and lay under my covers fully clothed shaking for god only knows how long with ‘someone’ telling me that ‘my leaden covers will only protect me till dawn’ (random as fuck i know) woke up in the morning slightly miffed and a bit shaky!

mate who had the weed said it was ‘a bit special’ only thing i noticed was it burned quite well, didnt smell too strong but tasted nice. this whole thing has worried me slightly, in case it happens again!

anyone got any idea what the fuck happened?

never tripped off weed before, i only had about half a joint as well, was too busy babblin at everyone.

also been gettin ‘shadow people’ a fair bit at work today, thats not happened to me since cut down on me beer n stopped

smokin weed all day everyday, bout two years ago.

sounds like you were hallucinating off of strong grass and once you started to panic you went off into a downward spiral of being upset and panicing in turns until you were totally freaked out

possibly very strong grass indeed and thats why you could still see the dark people [snickety snacketies] today; it takes a long time to remove that much THC from your system

i suspect you should be grateful you didnt smoke the whole thing or it could have been a lot worse:crazy_fre which isnt nice if you are not enjoying it; i have a friend this happened to and i spent hours and hours talking him down from it – he no longer smokes because of it

if you are going to smoke again do it with someone who knows what happened last time and who you trust so they can talk you down should it become necessary [ also avoid really strong grasses such as crystal skunk and what was called G13 as the THC content is excessive]

just because its a herb does not mean it is safe

Similar things have happened to me, twice infact. I think it was more to with me being run down and smoking skunk oppose to it being high quality shit. Not really seeing things but everything blurred and different as though I was in a trip! It was as though I would turn my head and everything would gradually follow. Basically as you said above…. My body started to panic and I got all shakey and had this awful sensation of my skin crawling all over.. Anyway since its happened to me before I sort of put it to the back of my mind and forced myself to sleep. Seems like its abnormal so you get really paranoid about whats going on… because weed can’t possibly do this so you convince yourself its something else and as said above go on a downward spiral..

this is becoming more and common these days – cannabis has been getting stronger ever since the SE Asian gangs started producing it on an intensive “factory” basis using the latest technology.

Also if you are in the habit of staying up late over weekends and then a few midweek sessions with your mates (even just a few beers and smoking) sleep deprivation adds to the confusion/hallucinations.

Don’t be too alarmed as it will pass; particularly if you rest for a while and calm things down for a bit. You are not going mad; this sort of thing happens to a lot of people.

thanks guys, just worried me a bit, cos of the amount i used to smoke a couple years ago n it never happened then. Tiredness most probably did play a big part, just started a new job, so probably been a bit more knackered than i think i am. Day off today, but i can’t keep still! the suns out. yay!!!

it wont stop me smoking again, think i’ll play it safe for a while, cut down again and if it is strong stuff next time i’ll just stop and go home asap!

A friend of mine was recently cautioned by police for having a small amount of weed on him. Now he’s said that this is now on his criminal record for life, and when applying for jobs it will come up if the employer checks his record.

Now another friend of mine said that this is untrue, and won’t come up when applying for jobs unless you get caught again. He also said a police caution will get wiped after five years if you don’t get caught again.

Which one is right? Cause I’m not too worried bout getting a caution if only the police have access to it, its just future employers I don’t want to know. Thanks.

It dosent count as a criminal record and you dont have to list it as a criminal conviction on a job application,

however some jobs, like teachers (and other jobs with kids), police officers (as if anyone on here would) and goverment jobs ask for convictions & cautions where u would have to declare it but it doesnt mean ur otta the job we live in a liberal state an if u got the right boss they wnt care

also u may have to declare it, only when/if asked as the forms only say conviction but they may ask about cautions, if u wanted a working visa outside the EU

both your friends are right – it depends on the circumstances and how much the cops follow the rules themselves – in some cases the cops do just give you a warning and don’t do the paperwork – But increasingly they are storing something about the incident on their computer systems, even for just class C.

Bear in mind the cops themselves can be quizzed on how they came by a quantity of illegal substances; they (particularly younger officers) may have to prove they are not merely “confiscating” drugs for their own personal use or resale via criminal associates, so by recording the incident it covers their backs as well.

For most purposes a Formal Adult Caution runs out after 5 years (I have picked up two over the years…) and it is classed as a criminal record but not a conviction – you do not need to declare it on most job applications unless specifically asked to do so on the application form.

It can however affect your entry rights into certain countries.

Where you will be asked about cautions and where employers can find out them is when you are required to undergo a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Enhanced Disclosure check. This is usually only a requirement for jobs where you are working with children or vulnerable people (i.e healthcare), ,the emergency services, certain high level jobs in the financial services industry and professional positions such as accountancy.

Many positions in the Home Civil Service (unless its a job with enforcement roles such as in Revenue and Customs or the Home Office) do not require you to declare cautions, only convictions where you have been up before Court – I was a Civil Servant for 4 years and the application form did not even ask whether you had cautions.

I have been told by a number of senior managers in various companies that not all would reject a candidate just for a minor crime; but they would be more angry if someone lied about it and got found out later down the line (and this in itself is a criminal offence).

grd5745 – whilst there are weed smokers worldwide – people have different “street names” for different kinds of stuff – terms like schwag(?), chronic and yola aren’t as common in England and Europe (where most of us are).

Try describing the look of the weed and using full words rather than abbreviations for the units.

Have you left out some decimal points in the prices? those prices seem very expensive if its US dollars…
