The seedlings from my first tomato garden. Why is this in the marijuana thread? This is practice for my marijuana garden someday.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/ … ll-classesEvidence that the major crime groups are working together suggests Europe’s huge cocaine market has grown large enough to sustain its major players alongside each another. South American cartels in countries such as Colombia prefer to export cocaine to Europe because it avoids the heavily policed US border and dealing with the violent Mexican cartels.
Gibbons said that cocaine is now widely used throughout UK society, challenging outdated claims that it remains the preserve of the middle classes.
In August the home secretary, Priti Patel, urged police to “make an example” of middle-class cocaine users in a new crackdown, promising to “name and shame” wealthy users.
“It’s a drug used by everyone from the highest levels of society to the lowest levels of society. It is no longer the drug for people with a lot of money behind them,” said Gibbons.
yes, the italian mafia still hurts people. yes, UK gangs still fight. the albanian mafia has taken over the entirety of the UK drugs game, edging out the somalians, who previously edged out the yardie jamaicans ... etc. but this violence is limited to gang-on-gang violence, and is nothing like the scale and atrocity of the mexican cartels in their destabilized narco state.This means that UK gangs are working in tandem with groups like Italy’s powerful ’Ndrangheta mafia clan, which controls much of Europe’s cocaine trade.
Such a relationship allows British-based groups to tap into the huge buying power and contacts of one of the world’s richest criminal groups. In 2013, Europol estimated the ’Ndrangheta’s turnover was £44bn — greater than McDonald’s and Deutsche Bank combined.

Pretty amazing bad judgement call for whoever fired that cop. Absolute pig man mentality to want to go back on your word after the guy surrenders.A former Durham police sergeant won a partial victory in the NC appeals court Tuesday after being fired for letting an armed suspect smoke marijuana if he agreed to surrender peacefully.
In June 2016, Julius Smoot barricaded himself in an apartment and gave Durham police a grim warning: Let him see his wife and son in 10 minutes or he would shoot himself in the upstairs bedroom.
The officers, there to serve an arrest warrant, called the only hostage negotiator on-duty — Sgt. Michael Mole’, who arrived in five minutes.
Mole’ spent two hours talking to Smoot, then 29, trying to keep him alive. During that time, the suspect’s gun fired accidentally.
Finally, Smoot told Mole’ he wanted to smoke a marijuana cigarette, and the officer agreed as long as Smoot gave up.
Smoot, while in handcuffs, smoked the “blunt” he kept behind his ear — which ultimately got Mole’ fired from the Durham Police Department.
Entrepreneurs. Providing an in demand service while the government fails to set up a system for legal sales.Manhattan’s troubled Washington Square Park has reached a new low — with brazen drug dealers illegally selling weed from tables laden with pre-rolled joints and jars of pot conveniently labeled so choosy customers can select their favorite strains.
Five separate groups of weed vendors offered their wares in broad daylight around the fountain across from the park’s famed arch as tourists, families and New York University students packed the plaza in Greenwich Village on Sunday afternoon.
