According to a top South Wales Policeman, Cardiff in South Wales is becoming a "hub" for global organised crime?

Chief Superintendent Josh Jones from Cardiff Police just isn’t getting the drift of things. Let me explain;

So the Police get all “moist around the gusset” about busting this cannabis factory in Ely, which is an area on the western ouskirts of Cardiff. Then they go on to explain they’ve busted 60 grow-ops in the last year, so its clearly big business in Cardiff right? Well no, its not right.

Skunk #1 by Red Dragon

Y'see in Cardiff, today, Friday February 1st, the predominant deal on the street, is soapbar, (that brown stuff which pretends to be hashish). Sure there's green about, but not very much, and ridiculously expensive.

There's not much about see, so it drives the prices up and I don't know many who will sell an ounce at a time. More profit in £10 bag's.

So what does that tell us about the stuff which is being grown wholesale in South Wales? 

Thats right. Most it is not smoked in South Wales. Or the UK even. Whilst traffic is meticulously checked coming into the UK, no one looks at the traffic heading out!

Cardiff may well play host to some large cannabis farms, but its only as a result of the prohibition.

If there were no prohibition, and people were allowed to grow enough for themselves, as they are in Holland, Portugal, Belgium etc, there would be no cannabis farms, because the countries mentioned don't have this issue to deal with. Fact!

Another point worth raising is the landlords of these properties.

Cardiff, (as Chief Superintendent Jones will doubtless know) has a notorious history of unscrupulous landlords, who, if you turned up with a fist-full of crisp 20's and paid 6 month's in advance, you can do what the hell you like in their property, because there's no come-back for them.

They don't care if two battalions of the viet-cong turn up.

Perhaps its time there was some comeback? If they don't make the necessary checks on the credentials of their customers, surely they become "party" to the fact?

How many landlords have "suffered this fate" more than once?

Lets face it with all the news coverage this has received over the months and years, some of these landlords are profiting from drugs. Simple as that!
