Girl, 3, grows 'cannabis' in her garden [UK]

Girl, 3, grows 'cannabis' from Asda health food
Sptember 5, 2008 - Liverpool Echo



A GREEN-FINGERED three-year-old grew a cannabis plant in her back garden with seeds bought from a Merseyside supermarket.

Lois Williams wanted to be just like her father, 31-year-old Danny Williams, who grows his own potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, beans and fruits.

She planted some seeds from the packet of organic health food seed mix bought from Asda, in Huyton, in the garden of her family’s home in Aldwark Road, Dovecot.

Two months later, Mr Williams noticed a pungent smell coming from his vegetable patch and was shocked to discover the seeds had blossomed into a full-grown cannabis plant.

The former DJ, now a full-time carer, said: “Lois loves her healthy food and rather than snack on chocolate and crisps, she has seeds and nuts from the supermarket.

“She wanted to plant something of her own like I do, so we just chucked some seeds into the soil.

“Two months on and there was a cannabis plant in my garden. I could not believe it.

“Lois has eaten half the seeds from this pack and anyone could be sitting at their desk in work, thinking they are being healthy when really they are eating cannabis seeds.”

On the back of the 100g packet, sold for £1.60, it clearly says the seeds contain, among other ingredients, hemp, which is legal to grow in the UK with a licence from the Home Office.

A police expert told the ECHO the plant could be one of three varieties of cannabis, all of which are illegal to cultivate.

Since contacting the ECHO, Mr Williams has destroyed his cannabis plant. He has also sent the rest of the packet back to Asda for testing.

Asda today confirmed its seed mix contains 15% hemp seeds from the cannabis sativa plant, part of the cannabis family, but stressed it is different to hemp or cannabis associated with recreational drug use.

A spokesman said: “Asda takes measures to ensure traceability of its products and the suppliers of these seeds are authorised growers under licence.

“This variety of hemp seed is grown for its nutritional properties and fibre content and the product is sold for consumption.”

“Lois loves her healthy food and rather than snack on chocolate and crisps, she has seeds and nuts from the supermarket.

""A police expert told the ECHO the plant could be one of three varieties of cannabis, all of which are illegal to cultivate.""

It's either cannabis sativa, indica, or the hemp plant (hence the 3 varieties of the cannabis plant).

To sane people, the third variety is obviously the hemp plant, which is apparently legal to possess in this area (and to sell the seeds).

The seeds were obviously of the hemp-producing variety, which really makes me wonder why the writer would leave it up in the air as to which cannabis plant it's come from.

The hemp plant has less that .05 percent THC. The little girl is cultivating a hemp plant. Why the fuck is this even a story? Writer goes on to explain the healthy properties of cannabis seeds; what's the big deal about cultivating it? It won't even get people high.

What a bunch of propoganda. What's wrong with improving human nutrition?

I went to school with a young Republican. Toward the end of the school one year, he reluctantly agreed to a smoke-down....After a summer to ponder, three months later....he came back to me as the leader of the Communist party of our school organization. Though not my specific individual path, I thought "wow."  What a fucking difference this plant makes in our subconscience. Then I realized...

Is it really any wonder this plant's been made illegal?

We should be fighting in every corner...
