The north-east to be targeted by drugs movement
A global drugs movement is planning to target the north‑east of England with a form of wild cannabis, planting it at every major landmark in the area.
Cannabis plants have already been spotted growing in some of London’s most iconic landmarks, such as Tower Bridge, The Shard and Big Ben.
The group behind the attack is the London Cannabis Club; its campaign is called Feed the Birds. The idea is to distribute hemp seeds all over the UK. According to the group, the hemp seeds are legal and nutritious and are being used to feed migratory birds; however, the group’s real goal appears to be to grow cannabis in popular public locations all over the country.
The project was founded by a farmer, a psychiatrist and a barrister, who are putting forward their case for the decriminalisation of cannabis in the UK. The group says that it has been operating for years under a media blackout and its real goal is to help medicinal users who find cannabis helpful for treating MS, cancer and arthritis.
The group hopes that its actions will lead to a reconsideration of cannabis prohibition in the UK. It believes that hemp should be used in industry, clothing and medicine, and argues that it was used for thousands of years before prohibition.
The London Cannabis Club explains on its website: “New technologies allow hemp to be made into biodegradable plastics, industrial construction materials, medicine, clothing, oil, fuel, food, paper and many more important items.” The project now operates worldwide.
Health scientists are well aware of the problems that cannabis abuse and addiction can lead to, however. Research has shown that mental health problems can manifest very soon after cannabis is smoked.
