"Even though hemp is commonly associated with marijuana (THC), hemp in itself is non-psychoactive. Hemp is also one of the fastest growing biomasses in the world, and used for a variety of products including paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, health foods, butter and fuel." ~Tomitheos

Four men were arrested this morning (Thursday 23 March 2023), after officers swooped in on a suspected cannabis farm on Arthur Street in Swinton.
The drugs warrant was carried out by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) Salford Neighbourhood Team after evidence came to light that the property was being used for the cultivation of cannabis.
Initial searches of the building uncovered 3 rooms full of suspected cannabis plants.
The plants were seized and four men were detained under section 23 of the misuse of drugs act. They were subsequently arrested on suspicion of involvement in the production and supply of cannabis and remain in police custody for questioning.
Sergeant Peter MacFarlane said: "Locating a cannabis farm is a great result for the team who are gathering intelligence and working hard to crackdown on drug-related crime across Salford.
"Farms of this nature are also incredibly dangerous to other occupants in the area. The building itself is still being made safe due to the amount of wiring around the plants. Criminals running these types of enterprises have no regard for public safety and in these conditions, an electrical fault from bad wiring could easily start a fire and endanger lives.
"The arrests and seizures therefore go someway towards disrupting the supply of illegal drugs and the criminality that comes with it, and will also make our communities safer.
"This operation was intelligence led and a huge part of our intelligence comes from members of the public sharing information with us. If you have suspicions about a crime taking place please report it so we can take positive action and bring those responsible to justice."

My scooter outside Hybrid Pharmacy, the fist in the country of Canada that allows direct access of patients for medical marijuana with excellent supervision. Also, they advise no driving with current use of THC or ongoing psychoactive effects. When Canada allowed legal access to recreational cannabis they made significant driving restrictions and can randomly pull over drivers to screen for alcohol and drugs including marijuana. If the driver exceeds a minimum blood level of 5 nanograms of THC, the car will be impounded, drivers licence suspended, $1000 fine and if an accident was caused, possible imprisonment. This is a good thing for safe driving.
Currently it has been observed that a lot of people in Canada are accessing the non psychoactive cannabis product, CBD, during the current pandemic to self manage stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia triggered by the crisis. There is also theoretical benefit that the anti inflammatory effect of CBD might reduce one of the main causes of death due to COVID-19, the cytokine storm that destroys the lung. Concurrently there is a surge of opioid use and abuse with more overdose deaths also triggered by the pandemic. Of interest, patients on long term opioids experience immune suppression that makes them at greater risk of severity of COVID-19 infection, the opposite of CBD. No wonder people are trying to convert from narcotic therapy to cannabis. Obviously this needs medical supervision.
