It's why prohibition didn't work and people resorted to making their own moonshine in bathtubs. I think I'd even look at regulating certain drugs as well. People aren't going to stop taking them, so you could at least generate some tax revenue from them. It makes the product safer and is money out of the hands of organised crime, so it's win-win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In bathtubs, one couple were growing them in their loft, and a recently moved in couple have had an huge square shaped loft extension to the rear of their house and it has set some people wondering, is it true cannabis can be smelled from the outside of buildings?

Yes you can smell it outside buildings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I mentioned bathtubs I was referring to alcohol. Cannabis plants definitely smell, but I suppose it depends how many someone is growing and how well insulated the property is. I think the authorities often find them using thermal imaging technology, as growing them requires a lot of heat lamps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) I seem to recall a house being raided one winter because it was the only roof where the snow had melted due to the heat below. The other roofs still had snow on. Edited November 6, 2023 by mart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When police used to deploy the helicopter they used to use thermal camera on houses to see which houses showed up with lots of heat in loft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cos the helicopter is no longer specifically for South Yorks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
