Bristol man grew cannabis factory in child's bedroom
A Bristol man has admitted creating a cannabis factory in a child’s bedroom at his home.
Curtis Tanner, 21, of Kenmare Road, Knowle, pleaded guilty last Friday to a charge of cultivating 14 mature cannabis plants when he appeared before Bristol Magistrates’ Court.
Crown Prosecutor May Li said the plants could yield 776g of the drug if they reached full maturity.
Magistrates bailed Tanner to return to court to be sentenced at a later date.

“So by "child's bedroom" this tin-pot local rag actually means a spare room? There is no mention at all that Mr. Tanner even has children.
What a joke piece of journalism. Why not do a piece looking at the rates of psychosis vs. drug use, and compare it to what the government claim? (Drug use has been climbing for years, psychosis rates have been dropping). Why not make a critical examination of whether prohibition of drugs works or not? It didn't work for alcohol in the USA, so why should it work now?”
