Yes ,good non move

Growshops... As part of the Operation Sativa running here at the moment they just raided 16 growshops and confiscated 120K Euro of seeds, because "the "packs give no clear declaration of origin and appear to be promoting drug varieties ,not Hemp.............. Think about it...

This appears to be the actions of conservative forces in Madrid, against the Liberal Catalans, grasping at straws essentially, days after one "law" was passed encouraging clubs and the transition to a more controlled, legal situation, they go medium retard on us.

Likewise, 3 years ago, a grand statement about how they want the clubs to produce their own, days later they raided the grow of the club of the president of the Cannabis Clubs Association.. who they had just been negotiating with... Full Retard..


So, not imediately trusting what you hear, never mind how "official" would always be my advice

What's going on in Catalonia? I read 90% voted for independence. Will it happen? Maybe lighten up on weed?

The vote was never going to mean anything, it was illegal and largely disrupted, so basically only the fanatics voted.

In previous votes, it is split roughly 50/50, many Catalans do not support a breakaway state and many Spanish Spanish live here, many came 30 or 40 years ago.

Nobody knows what is going to happen

Weed is a minute pawn in the big game, I am absolutely certain that they turn a blind eye to it here because of the hundreds of millions it brings in to the local economy, itself a large part of the independence argument. Madrid and Paris are putting pressure on them to crack down, Barcelona have suggested legalising, regulating Club production, Madrid has yet to answer, but the violence and fall out will have buried that to all intents and purposes.

I was there allot in the 90s working in Barcelona and Madrid as well as vacationing in Costa Brava. Then it was the Basques looking for independence and violence was part of it. Even though they didn't break away, I think they view themselves as separate.

With the frontiers open, I'll bet it is big business.

You are right, it is a very complex situation

Pique and Guardiola are extremists, yes, clearly. What nobody in the UK knows is that Pep lived with the most famous Catalan Folk singer Lluis Llach, an openly gay man who was also equally open about smoking porros.

After 12 years here, speaking the lingo, spending a lot of time with the locals including being in relationships with them, yes, all Catalan Nationalism has a basis in Racism, it is ugly, but it is the truth.
