Cannabis Hemp News

The full article is here: Click HERE to recieve bullshit. OK, here are the problems i have with this article: 1. "Houses that are used to cultivate drugs have damaged walls and floors, and their electricity supply has been tampered with" While this may be the case with some houses used for cultivating Cannabis, it is the minority. In my experience, most growers love their house just as much as they love their plants, and houses being treated as grow facilities is a product of prohibition in which the police and government are to blame. 2. "harmful chemicals remained in the house long after a drug set-up was dismantled and these could cause respiratory problems." …

Several thousand plants were growing among native vegetation at Peebinga near Pinnaroo S.A. Some plants were 1.5 metres high. Charges have been laid against a Highbury man, 72, another from Thebarton, 49, and a third man, 54, from Virginia. Superintendent Ian Parrott said a sophisticated dripper system was being used to water the plants from a bore on the land. "The size of this crop demonstrates the highly-organised nature of illicit drug cultivation and represents the most significant seizure of cannabis in SA in recent years," he said.

Mr Bower founded Mullaway’s Medical Cannabis after developing a way to access the healing qualities of cannabis without the notorious side-effects, offering welcome relief to people suffering chronic pain and terminal illness.
