So with Olivia's killer getting 42 years will people now recognise that dealing cannabis is not a victimless crime ?

Just as the title says

I work in this area and have for 15 years.

When police raid a cannabis factory all the comments on social media are "go catch some real criminals "
"It's just plants !"

Well done plod you caught some plants .

Do people seriously not realise that cannabis factories and dealing are linked to organised crime groups who run about with guns ?
And who kill people?

Maybe now this
Abhorrent crime has been tried people might realise their spliff isn't victimless.

I've dealt with countless factories where modern slavery has played a part - a couple of young Vietnamese kids living In Squalor , acting as gardeners, all to fund some organised crime group , the likes of which Olivia's murderer was .

Now will people stop vilifying police who raid cannabis factories and shut them down ?

Somehow I doubt it .

@AnyaMarx the hypocrisy is astounding, as are the lies and the anecdata. It's also typical that the voices of reason on this thread have come from people who are actually working in this field. We still don't listen to experts in the UK, it seems.
