    If you polled the average high-street go-er, I’m not sure if they’d prefer another dodgy phone repair place, or a hydroponic farm.

      If only there existed other types of services. 🙄

      Honestly I have seval ideas that I would love to pursue but we don’t have any suitable vacant buildings. Almost everything is bought up for assisted/elderly care and left unoccupied. It definitely feels like a tax scam somewhere.

    Hmmmm.

    We’re losing out on money by keeping it illegal (taxation) and using taxpayer money trying to stop it?

    In our two party system both Cons and Labour don’t want sensible drug reform either… Somebody make it make sense?

      Worth remembering the UK is one of the worlds largest legal cannabis exporters.

      And a number of MPs are known to be part ofbthe industory.

      So legalising recreational in the UK would also make it easyier for small competitiltors to compete with those larger companies.

      Like much of the restricted product industory. The complexity of licencingbmakes it advantagouse to the wealthy.

      It is worse still. Gifting such a lucrative market to the criminal underground, funnels a lot of money to organized crime. Wouldn’t surprise if they are influencing to keep the status quo.

    Reading the headline I thought of meth labs. But it’s about growing cannabis. Talk about priorities
