I am very much against the fly tipped materials, in any form, as the growth is generally over footpaths in my area. These paths are not being maintained at all, at the moment. If some plants are growing on some loose soil that has been tipped somewhere that doesn’t make all the other irresponsible fly tipping ok. I don’t think the people trying to offload the remains of cannabis farms are generally too concerned about enriching the environment! After seeing all those bin bags full of soil dumped in the countryside I did wish they had just emptied out the soil loose but come on, they are only interested in getting rid of the stuff quickly and are not going empty out 40+ bags. Not to mention all the plastic bottles etc that were dumped with it. Just google cannabis farm fly tipping and look at the images. Mostly huge piles of filled bin bags.

If you are working, have caring responsibilities, wanting to travel, insuring life, health or possessions and many other aspects of life you may have to choose yourself whether you use legal, illegal or legalized drugs. I would not employ anybody directly or indirectly, who uses currently illegal drugs now or in the future. I would also expect any company or organization I deal with to have a no-tolerance policy toward use of currently illegal drugs now or in the future. I would not expect the benefit system to cover people who choose drug use over work. Edited May 13, 2021 by Annie Bynnol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Box11 28 #63 Posted May 21, 2021 I've just watched bbc look north... There was a youth worker and someone from mums united explaining the reason why there is so much knife and gun crime and murders in Sheffield is because of cuts to youth services !!!!.... Absolute rubbish the real reason is that these scumbags young and old are greedy and want to sell drugs to make alot of cash period !!!.... Until certain cliques In Sheffield who work in youth services start telling the truth instead of defending these scumbags and blaming it on government cuts !!!! Nothing will change in fact the crisis yes crisis will get far more worse than it is now... Another reason why drugs should be made legal !!!!.... I am so glad my children are not part of that situation in anyway shape or form or go to any of those youth services and that they are in a loving environment at home !!!....

Waldo 96 #65 Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) tYup, it’s money in the pockets of organised crime. Also causes, people trafficking / modern day slavery etc, as the criminals in charge need people to stay on site to look after the crop.

Back in the late 80s I attended a Youth Club on the site of the former Kelvin Flats, do I do illegal drugs 33 years later? Nope, even back then though the Kelvin was full of Chavs!

I mean that just because Youth services were mostly closed years ago, so there's not much for kids to do, does NOT mean they all turn to drugs and/or other illegal activities. Also, apart from going to the pub now that they're open, and the movies, there's not much for older people to do IMO.. I've been to the Mencap place in Norfolk Park several times, and even when I was about 25 I felt out of place because it was full of teenagers, like a Youth club kind of setting.

I understand that I really do and appreciate your comments.... But come on kids get groomed and get poison dripped into their ears by adults sometimes by older family members to become drug dealers.... I was stating that certain people in community's around Sheffield know full well that is the truth but still make excuses for them and blame it on government cuts.... Youth services need to start telling the truth about the real reason of drug related murders in Sheffield and city's around the UK... As I have said the drug problems will only get alot wrost than it is now if they keep defending and blaming it on cuts.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
saywhatnow 33 #72 Posted May 22, 2021 I do think youth services can help some young people to make better choices and take a different path to that they might have done if it were not for those youth service interventions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
