Two people have been arrested as police seized 250 cannabis plants from properties in Bristol.
Fifteen kilos of cannabis resin was also discovered after police officers executed search warrants at properties in Filton and Wellington Hill West and Filton Road yesterday.

A 28-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of production of cannabis and remain in custody. The cannabis factories have been dismantled.
Inspector Gary Haskins said: "This seizure should send a clear message that illegal drugs will not be tolerated in Avon and Somerset."
He added: "Community intelligence is a key part of our job and I would like to thank the residents of Bristol who continue to support our work."

“Anything to avoid admitting that someone who says they're addicted to weed has any insight into their own pathology.”

'It's all getting a bit heated here. Why don't we just skin up and chill out.....'
I knew someone would say that. Not very funny, just clunkingly obvious.”

“Fair enough Brandlogo. You are right, i made a suggestion before you explained that you had stopped smoking tobacco 3 years ago. Unfortunately i was unaware of this, as yes, i do not know you. I think you've taken my comments a bit to personally and as an insult. You don't know me either, so lets leave it at that.”

“'I was simply suggesting smoking 1-skins as opposed to "smoking cannabis neat with a pipe" as this may help to reduce your "addiction to this horrible substance".'
When 3yrs ago I quit smoking tobacco as well as weed, and started smoking weed alone, I regarded that as progress. I still do. Your suggestion that I return to the bad old days is bizarre. But I suppose one should expect that from a drug evangelist with no medical qualifications.
'Clearly you have an addictive personality and do not really "wish to quit".'
... and your absence of psychiatric qualifications apparently represents no obstacle to your pronouncing on the preferences of people whom you have never met. And you think I do not really wish to quit, because I don't want to start smoking tobacco again. That's just bonkers!
'Sorry if I have caused offence with my comments as this was not my intension.'
I think you're ignorant.”

“'the lack of evidence to suggest that cannabis does cause such a destructive illness to an otherwise healthy individual'
This would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.”

“- I don't want to encourage your addiction, but have you tried, for example, smoking one skins with a small amount of tobacco, which would lessen the amount of cannabis you are smoking and may help for you to gradually cut down and eventually stop? The high will not be as strong, but that could be a good thing?
I only quit smoking 1-skins 3 yrs ago, and now you're saying I should go back to smoking tobacco. Jesus, what is it with people like you.”
