Standing on the rooftops

Why are they looking for him so hard? Is it that difficult to find good cannabis in England?
It's like a chav, but one that exclusively wears a big North Face coat (especially when it's warm out), stinks of weed and carries a knife to show everyone how hard they are.
lol Oh we have those! Just replace the knife with a .38 revolver or something. I remember In highschool trying to get some herb, this kid hops in the whip. Then he wants to show off his revolver and that shit made me so unbelievably uncomfortable. He ended up hoppin out again, we told him he was bugged as fuck for carrying that to sell some weed, and I never saw that dude again, intentionally.
Ahhhh, to be a stupid teenager buying street weed from randos again. Luckily I've never been in a situation *that* sketchy, but I've been in some pretty sketchy situations all for some fuckin' weed.
Yeah theres nothing quite like that moment of realizing how out of place you are. Lmao. Not that that was all too common of an occurrence, for me. Weirdly this story I told happened in such an incredibly small town in the south. I never had some kid hop in the whip strapped in New York lmao. Well, not for weed, anyway.
Makes more sense, actually. Grew up in the Northeast and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a gun that wasn’t a legal concealed carry. Definitely could have gotten stabbed or some shit, though. Fuckin’ hardo dimebag slingers. The dumbest of shit, I swear.
I think the American translation would be a gangbanger? Basically it means a teenager/young adult who acts tough and is likely involved in low level drug dealing or gang activity, or likes to pretend they are.
Fun Fact - If you sneeze (or belch) and fart at the same time, an immense vacuum is formed within the body and you get turned inside out. It's very lethal so don't do it.
I used to worry about it a great deal because sometimes a sneeze can cause a fart. It turns out the only reason I haven't been turned innards out is because they are not truly simultaneous. The sneeze causes the fart which emits milliseconds *after* the sneeze.
If the two truly come together, you're doomed. Thankfully it's very rare. Probably happens with about the same frequency as spontaneous human combustion.
Yeah, in all of the legal markets they're really trying though. Maybe they're waiting until these companies are big enough to start donating big fat campaign contributions before they'll legalize. Whoever's stand at the top of the market the day it's legalized gets to become the Philip-Morris of weed. Hell, Philip-Morris itself wants to become the Philip-Moris of weed. They've been strategizing over that one for years. That's why there's still a blockade on national legalization. Until they've managed to pivot and secure all of the marketing and production required to dominate the *national* cannabis market, they're gonna throw everything they can at lobbying to ensure it remains illegal.
Really? I thought the idea behind making them state owned was to leverage the buying power of an entire state and pass some of the savings to the consumer. It is a lot cheaper in PA than other states I've been to.
Sounds about right. Remember that women in parliament that kept voting to keep cannabis criminal, all while her husband was building cannabis farms across the pond. Politicians are only out to line there pockets.
Funny thing is that without prohibition, there isn't much money in it at all. The entire world's demand for weed could be grown on something like 500,000 acres. I'm in a legal state where the market is completely saturated and a good ounce is $60-80.
Probably, but also mostly just because they fucked up friendships and relationships with their family. If only those things were as easy to treat as a vitamin deficiency ya know? lol
They probably want to keep it illegal as a means to get a reason to search people or confiscate money. They can say "we smelled marijuana" and begin searching but if they can't make up something like that it lessens their ability.
Fun fact :
The name 'Assassin' in English comes from the Latin term assassinus, which is a corruption of the Arabic words hasisi, al-Hashishiyyun or hashashun, meaning 'hashish-eater.' As the Nizari Ismailis used the strategy of assassination so often, the name medieval Arabs used to describe their drug habits became synonymous with the act of murdering a political or religious opponent.
Your joke is very accurate.
Good ol' Liverpool

This didn’t make me laugh for 2 seconds. Why tf are we still arresting people for growing/smoking weed? You fucking scumbag governments with corrupt pharmaceutical and prison regimes.
Poor guys heart is probably beating out of his chest as he waits to be inevitably caught and treated like piece of human trash for growing plants that make people feel content with this shitty world. We have GOT TO CHANGE.
Because Britain is a shit hole and crackdowns have replaced meaningful politics. Everywhere else is slowly ending the war on drugs, but we're speeding up. Can't put into words how fundamentally broken this island is.
Meanwhile the UK is the worlds biggest medical cannabis exporter, grown locally I believe. Of course the plantations are owned by extremely well connected people too so they get to dangle it in front of you while also making it a crime to use it.
Yeah I honestly forgot it’s still illegal some places
Absolutely ridiculous.
Legal in 37 states with doctors orders
21 recreationally
10 decriminalized
Hemp legal all states
I’m english but I lived in a legal state for a few years. I find it crazy to think back then I was always only ever a 10 minute drive from high quality weed with a 1000 different ways to consume it. Now I have to wait an hour in the cold for my plug to show up.
To be fair, a cannabis farm like this caught on fire and destroyed multiple homes in the street I lived in. It was awful.
If it's legalised they wouldn't feel the need to grow them in the roof I suppose, but whilst they do, it IS dangerous.
Cooking done wrong can also burn a house down but pretty much everyone has a kitchen in their house. Unfortunately some people don't know how to do either safely.
Strangely enough, this was in Liverpool where there was an area called Cantrill Farm that was so rough it got known as “Cannibal Farm” and ended up with the council changing its name.
Here's a little poem
On the rooftop stood a black man,
With a grin from ear to ear.
For he had grown a cannabis farm,
But the cops were oh so near.
They searched and searched throughout his house,
But the man was nowhere found.
Little did they know, he was above them,
Hiding and feeling quite profound.
As the cop leaned out the window,
Looking left and right and down,
The man above was watching,
And he couldn't help but clown.
For he knew that he had won this round,
The cops had been outplayed.
And as he watched them leave in defeat,
He lit up a joint and stayed.
So let this be a lesson,
To those who try to fight.
When it comes to cannabis farming,
Sometimes it's best to take flight.
So if you're growing weed at home,
Be sure to hide it well.
For if the cops come knocking,
You don't want to go to jail!
This reminds me of that scene from Spider-man (2002) when Norman saw peters blood drip on the floor and then looked out the window while Peter was right under his nose
**They found him.**
According to [here](https://ukdaily.news/manchester/man-caught-hiding-in-dach-after-police-uncover-cannabis-farm-194038.html):
> Stanley Adams29 March 2023
> A man involved in maintaining a cannabis farm in a home tried to evade police by hiding on the DACH, a court heard.
> Etmond Lika, 32, of no fixed address, climbed through a skylight onto the roof of the large terraced house after police searched the property. Above the six rooms inside, they found, was a cannabis cultivation facility containing at least 200 plants, which they described as “simply an elaborate operation.”
> Police also found evidence someone had lived there, such as food, and said there was “no doubt it was this defendant”. Lika appeared via video link at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday after pleading guilty to a charge of concern over cannabis production, the Liverpool Echo reports.
> Christopher Hopkins, prosecutor, told the court that around noon on February 24 this year, a locksmith was hired to replace the front door lock at an address in Stanley Road, Kirkdale.
> Mr Hopkins said: “He noticed what he believed to be a cannabis facility on the property and called the police. He thought someone was inside.”
> Later that afternoon, police searched the property and found the “sophisticated” cannabis cultivation operation. Lika attempted to evade police by climbing through a skylight and hiding on the property’s roof, but was eventually caught and arrested. Mr Hopkins said: “Lika had been employed by someone to manage or run this facility, whether that was tending to the plants or whatever was required.”
> Lika was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court(Image: Liverpool Echo)
Yeah he’s high
Crime rate is through the roof
Smh people will do anything to be above the law
It is the public grandstanding, placing themselves over everyone else that gets to me
The case is gonna get thrown out the window
This comment drove me up the wall.
Up up and AWAY!

Slipped’em a roofie.
I heard if you get hooked on that shit, you might get shingles
You nailed that joke

High? Dude's face is melting off.
Higher=closer to the sun, thus more heat and his face is turning from solid into liquid

Why would this make anyone angry?
If you're not angry, we can find a reason for you to be. There's plenty a groups to join that have anger as their sole purpose.
Or just join any political sub. Doesn't matter what party, what country, you WILL be mad about 3 posts in.
Same reason every pun or silly joke is now referred to as a dadjoke, people want to meme and act like they're part of the joke when they don't actually add anything
People don't like puns
They're just ashamed about how much they do like puns. Hahaha
Truth.
This is what would be in a comedy sketch taking the piss out of the British but is a real photo of modern day Britain (I'm guessing)
This happened on the 24th of February so pretty recent!
Really?? The cop looks like he's straight out of an 80s detective movie
They do look like this in the UK!
Flying fox of the yard?!
He looks like Dennis Reynolds.
That’s why he looked familiar. Thank you lol
[удалено]
Because you have a brain as warped by British comedy as mine.
Because you’re a man of taste.
*Theft of public funds* What a waste. Go after real criminals and leave these people alone.
These people are helping to solve our nation's mental health problems
> but is a real photo of modern day Britain (I'm guessing) Why are they looking for him so hard? Is it that difficult to find good cannabis in England?
When it's good it's good!
If that guy isn't a London roadman I'll buy a hat just to eat it
He looks like a roofer
I'm American. What's a roadman in US English? Someone who paves roads?
It's like a chav, but one that exclusively wears a big North Face coat (especially when it's warm out), stinks of weed and carries a knife to show everyone how hard they are.

Modern day Britain basically is a comedy sketch taking the piss.
Painfully true.
They did find him though this was taken seconds before he was caught
Yeah, I'm assuming the guy taking the picture was pretty sure where he was
Easiest Where's Waldo ever.
Where’s Weedo
But now where’s Speedo?
> They did find him though I hope they gave him all the awards and accolades he deserves.
slapped with fines for no attic marijuana loicense. Threw the book at him though, even included fines for no TV loicense.
What’s the difference between a loicense and a license?
An o
One seems to be Australian
The Brits, who'll ask you if you've got a *loiscence fo' tha'* at bloody everything
But do they have a license to Queue?
How the hell did he get-- OH the roof is sloped.
Damn. Rip.
Well, yeah, I doubt they didn’t have someone outside.
There was a successful attempt.
I'm sure he can smell him
Perhaps but the smell of weed would cover it up.
Nothing covers the smell of patchouli.
No thats just popcorn and febreeze.

Nor sneeze and fart
Fun Fact - If you sneeze (or belch) and fart at the same time, an immense vacuum is formed within the body and you get turned inside out. It's very lethal so don't do it.
No that's how you create a checkpoint.
I'll try to avoid it, thanks.
I used to worry about it a great deal because sometimes a sneeze can cause a fart. It turns out the only reason I haven't been turned innards out is because they are not truly simultaneous. The sneeze causes the fart which emits milliseconds *after* the sneeze. If the two truly come together, you're doomed. Thankfully it's very rare. Probably happens with about the same frequency as spontaneous human combustion.
I'm a pretty unlucky person, so I'm a little worried now.
I'm out.
Now I'm picturing him sticking his head out the window sniffing around like those monsters in scary movies trying to find their prey.
Why the fuck does the world still care so much about cannabis?
Because already rich fucks aren't able to exploit the whole market for themselves yet
Yeah, in all of the legal markets they're really trying though. Maybe they're waiting until these companies are big enough to start donating big fat campaign contributions before they'll legalize. Whoever's stand at the top of the market the day it's legalized gets to become the Philip-Morris of weed. Hell, Philip-Morris itself wants to become the Philip-Moris of weed. They've been strategizing over that one for years. That's why there's still a blockade on national legalization. Until they've managed to pivot and secure all of the marketing and production required to dominate the *national* cannabis market, they're gonna throw everything they can at lobbying to ensure it remains illegal.
Here in Pennsylvania they're already talking about regulating weed stores like they regulate liquor stores. State owned monopoly at sky-high prices.
Really? I thought the idea behind making them state owned was to leverage the buying power of an entire state and pass some of the savings to the consumer. It is a lot cheaper in PA than other states I've been to.
Sounds about right. Remember that women in parliament that kept voting to keep cannabis criminal, all while her husband was building cannabis farms across the pond. Politicians are only out to line there pockets.
Twisted thing is UK is apparently the largest exporter of weed, I bet there are a few tories profiting off that.
Funny thing is that without prohibition, there isn't much money in it at all. The entire world's demand for weed could be grown on something like 500,000 acres. I'm in a legal state where the market is completely saturated and a good ounce is $60-80.
Because Mexican farm workers and Vietnam protesters smoked cannabis. That's it.
Gotta keep the poor people locked up somehow, I guess. Apparently “good people” don’t use dRuGs and deserve to be pRoTeCtEd from those who do. *sigh*
You want to get even madder? The conservatives just made whipped cream canisters illegal.
Is that why I cannot find any of them anymore? Not in the US though
They made it illegal in the UK
No they haven't. I bought some 2 days ago
It sounds really stupid but I have seen people legitimately fuck their lives up with huffing the gas.
Did they take enough to get a vitamin deficiency? Because that's easily treated if so.
Probably, but also mostly just because they fucked up friendships and relationships with their family. If only those things were as easy to treat as a vitamin deficiency ya know? lol
I have a feeling people throwing their lives away over nitrous would've found another substance if nitrous weren't available.
Precisely. Nitrous is the least of anyone’s worries, as far as addicts go….
[удалено]
They probably want to keep it illegal as a means to get a reason to search people or confiscate money. They can say "we smelled marijuana" and begin searching but if they can't make up something like that it lessens their ability.
Because there's money to be made from throwing people in prison. That's about it.

What can motivate you more than a cop trying to arrest you?

By climbing out the window then climbing up there, not that hard.
probably used a window.
Of opportunity
I hate that there are still people who think that public resources should be used to fight weed.....
Only those employed to do this unethical “work”. These bastards should do something meaningful with their time.
Who took the pic???
An adjacent building window? A low police helicopter?
An individual armed with a photographic device? A swallow laden with an Iphone 13, trained to snap 3-pixel pics of rooftop ruffians?

Why is it even a crime? It’s a fucking plant

It's barbaric that this is still so illegal most places.
