You see, about 3 years ago, I&#8217;d stopped on a quiet road between lessons to grab a sandwich and do some emails, and I was aware of some dumped vegetation in the gateway I&#8217;d parked in. I did a double-take, and realised it was three large bales of cannabis plants &#8211; probably several kilos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I phoned the police and they weren&#8217;t interested, citing something about only being interested if the plants had buds on them. They said if I was concerned I should call the council, though they didn&#8217;t have a number. I looked one up and called. After about 50 phone options &#8211; none of which came even close to covering such a find &#8211; I plumped for one which sounded as though they might be able to help. I tried to explain what I&#8217;d found, then the line went dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought: f**k them. I didn&#8217;t try again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over a period of about three months, the bales gradually decomposed and that was that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4532794719633406\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just saw this on the BBC website (unusually for the BBC, that link is now dead &#8211; they usually archive old stories) Apparently, someone dumped some bin bags full of cannabis plants at the side of the road near Harrogate in Yorkshire.
