garden crops

[wilf]

it si said Jeremy grew canabis in his garden. was there any growing at the time? what was the police reaction when they found it (they surely would) ? or was this in a previous year?

[lookout]

 It was nowhere near the " farms " industry that we see today,Wilf. Probably one or two straggly little plants,,which when grown outside would amount to nothing and wouldn't fill a cigarette paper.
This is where the surveillance came into play,so Jeremy,,and the phones were watched for any deals going on.
The fact that there was no stash of cash anywhere should answer your query.

WHF grew a type of canabis on licence. Whether Jeremy grew it in his garden is as far as I know just hearsay. The police at the time were investigating the movement of canabis from WHF to Colchester under the name Operation Stokenchurch. Nothing was known about this secret operation at that time, but it was revealed years later.
I actually posted photographs of the Stokenchurch antenna that campion had found. If this operation happened, which it did it means that that Special Branch knew about the phonecalls that took place between WHF and Jeremy's house. It also explains why a Special Branch officers were at the murder scene. But because of the secrecy of the operation and because this was still an ongoing operation none of this was heard in the court case. They could have cleared Bamber at that time. But of course none of them care now.

You cannot grow the type of canabis that they grow today without special equipment. One operation was closed down in Maldon quite recently.

The garden of Jeremy's cottage, as gardens of other two up, two down cottages, would have been the width of the cottage, which like other two up, two downs was likely to have been 12'. Built to house labourers who, historically produced large families, it's quite possible that it could have been 200' long BUT the garden is overlooked by every other house in the row. Could Jeremy have been getting rid of the excess to his neighbours? Could they all have been serving up steamed marijuana to their families thinking it was a new kind of green vegetable?

Hello April  wish my neighbours would serve that upto me instead of the old looking cabbage and so forth

What canabis was there at WHF and who was moving it? WHF was licenced to grow drugs for medical use but was this canabis? the licence would surely have had provision for possible criminal exploitstion? there are lots of other madical drugs grown  digitalis for example.  am I missing something?
 there was a field full of canabis grown near one of my walks it had NO street value as it had NO mind altering effect. it was for its fiber use in a type of spray plastering in the building industry. mind you stopped you in your tracks to see acres of it

Essex police have a drug division tha thandles drugs.

There is no evidence that his phone was tapped let alone evidence that they recorded a call from Jeremy to Neivll on the night of th emurders.

Your wild tales are becoming as bad as Mike's in fact Mike already make these ridicilous allegations without offering any shred of proof in the past.

Eating pot makes you sick.  Some US states have violated federal law and legalized pot for various reasons.  There are a number of pot food products being sold currently that have caused a rash of illnesses. Pot brownies used to just be done for a joke but unless a token amout of pot is used it should not be consumed.

Alias - yes that is what I read before - WHF was quite advanced for its time and licenced to grow opium for medicinal purposes. Probably a good income I should think.

[nugnug]

im suprised the police and proscution dident make more of the fact he was growing dope.

I agree - in those days it would be very handy to add to the "character assassination"

 So there we have it,,Jeremy the( dope peddlar ) peddling like fury from the scene of the crime.
