UK Cops: Local Weed Sucks, Comparatively Speaking

A report by the Association of Chief Police Officers in Britain concluded that marijuana is being grown on a massive scale in the country, but that "UK-produced skunk is of a lower quality than varieties available on the continent." Ouch.

Authorities in Britain are worried about the increase in large weed farms across the country, which the report blames mostly on Vietnamese and Chinese immigrants, but adds that "the criminals involved in this activity are changing with more white British people involved than ever before." Whoa... white people are committing crimes, too! Farms have been popping up in abandoned pubs, cinemas, nightclubs and banks, and were being guarded by criminals armed with machetes and sawed-off shotguns.

The report warns that "criminals involved in cannabis cultivation" may also be part of the pirated DVD trade, as well as tobacco smuggling and counterfeiting currency. Still, none of these accusations hurt the growers more than downgrading their product to dirt weed. That's harsh.

I read that pretty much word for word in the guardian Cannabis farmers take up arms to defend crops in booming trade | World news | The Guardian.

Hardly any of the opinions are backed up with facts, the whole thing seems to be anecdotal apart from the fact that seizures have doubled since 08.

I lolled at

But yeah commercial street quality is pretty shit.

Weed grown in chinese run vietnamese manned sweat shops probably isn't going to be very good.

farmergiles · 08-17-2010, 02:22 PM

They must just get the leaves

SmokeaJoint · 08-17-2010, 02:44 PM

Is UK weed shit? Never been there myself but I figure its as good as what everyone else has.

Štulic · 08-18-2010, 11:07 PM

^ Well you most probably can't compare it to the dutch, no country can but I guess some people in the UK get top notch weed while a lot of others don't :/
But what's wrong with good old Moroccan hash?

europe in general is pretty weak unless you know someone who either travels frequent to holland or copenhagn, or someone who grows/is well connected. you can actually get ripped off anywhere regardless of being in europe or not, so its not exactly unique. my impression was that it was much more common than places i have seen simply because i have seen many places with a lot less people.

See, I was thinking about going to Europe next summer, good to know about quality before I go there.

dont forget they always mix with tobacco

SmokeaJoint · 08-19-2010, 12:07 PM

Obsessed with hash, cant really blame em.

wellfleation · 08-19-2010, 07:14 PM

Hash is probably 10x's better than the weed. I'm totally assuming.

The British are going all Nixon on their own "War on drugs/mj 2010 style. Talk about being a back-ass country.

SmokeaJoint · 08-19-2010, 07:15 PM

Your assuming? Have you never had it???

Nothing apart from the availability.

Used to get Moroccan all the time, now it's rarer than hens teeth.

Waves · 08-19-2010, 07:58 PM

clive · 08-20-2010, 07:28 AM

SublimeStylez · 08-20-2010, 09:11 AM

Heh what about soapbar hash?

Waves · 08-20-2010, 03:44 PM
