Darryl Webster

[Dear Wiggo]

And it does absolutely pong if you live close by. Darryl's not exactly got a garden centre going on there but it's enough for a minor stink.

Personally, I find it a bit of a stretch to conflate being anti-dope with a bit of auntie dope and I reckon the Express journo's pseudo righteous indignation smells stronger than Darryl's botany ever did.

It only smells if you're smoking it. The plants themselves don't smell strong. Do they?

Agreed on the righteous indignation bit.

Are you mental? Or do you write for the Sun newspaper? He's gone from growing some weed to selling it to kids to mowing down riders in his car whilst on heroin.QUOTE]

No I don't write for the Sun , it's a rag of a newspaper .

And I didn't say Webster was selling cannabis outside schools .
I pointed out that if you were a parent you wouldn't be too happy to find some scumbag selling cannabis to your kids . That it was produced for personal use or otherwise would be the last of your concerns . Where do you think the **** on the streets comes from ? Set-ups like Websters that's where .
As for being mown down by some **** who can't concentrate because he's off his face on the theraputic weed you say is harmless , I sincerely hope it never happens to someone you know .

The laughable thing in this is the great drugs crusader that was DW telling the world everyone is a cheat and there he is growing **** at home .
It might be legal in certain countries but it isn't in the UK , and having a mini production line at two houses isn't a bit of weed for personal use .

They certainly do. Better make sure you properly insulate your attic or basement and don't open any windows. And if the neighbours ask about the 24hr lighting, just tell them your kids are scared of the dark.

 

[Catwhoorg]

The other possible culprit is the electricity being disproportionate to the house size and number of inhabitants.

The electric companies have provided this intelligence in the past.

No, no and no. You call the Sun a rag yet your diatribe comes straight from it. So someone growing it is selling it to kids? Or responsible for other drug users on other drugs injuring people whilst under the influence? You argument is sensationalist and simply sidesteps the facts.

And recreational and performance enhancing drugs are two very different things.

I have no problem with him growing weed whatsoever

The police in England have been giving out scratch and sniff cards to help the general public recognise the smell. They absolutely stink.

 

[Dear Wiggo]

Huh. I have smelt the smoke, and it's noxious. Repulsively so. But the plants never seemed to give off a smell. Maybe 9 in the basement might. Although I still think it's unlikely you'd smell them from there, even living next door. Not much draft from the basement up through open windows / doors in the middle of Winter / Spring is there?

Hopefully he can come on and share in the banter.

The plants do smell, in fact they reek, in particularly the newer, ultra-strong strains that are very high in Htc. Other giveaways are the high use of electricity for the lights and the various hydroponic (?) gubbins.

 

[MarkvW]

'expensive' cannabis plants lolz

37 plants


hardly pablo escobar

Not a lot of plants. But well set up grow ops at two locations hints at something more than personal use. And maybe more than two locations. And getting shopped by a customer (who himself got caught) is more likely than being betrayed by a friend. Still, though, not enough to be confident he's a dealer.

Don't forget the 'Repo Man' like glow on a helicopter thermal imaging camera if the grower skimped on the insulation.

Hi peeps. Few facts here. Only 9 plants were in flower. The remainder were small in grow stage. Any one who gardens will know you sow more than you require because you cannot be certain they will be succesful.
I have a very long and well documented, with my GP, Cannabis use to control my extreme anxiety, depressions and suicidal tendancies.
I refuse to use presciption anti depressents due to having on two occasions arrived at A@ E unconsious and close to death following over doses of presciption meds. Many anti depressents actual carry a increased risk of suicide warning in there guidance notes.
There is NO such risk with Cannabis.
My charge is purely for cultivation , NOT supply or intention to supply.
The POTENTIAL value figures given are, as is common , grosely exaggerated and If you use the home office,s own guidlines on quantity produced per plant ( 40grams) you reach a figure of much less than half and thats if EVERY plant was flowered. That there were two address,s was a personal circumstances situation, closing one while opening another ..a transition situation.
This " bust" occured last June, I have co operated from the onset. Despite that I spent 9 months on bail without charge contrary to home office guidlines that state 6 months should be the maxiumum without charge.
My stance on medicinal Cannabis has NO bearing whatsoever on my critisism of PED,s. They are entirely differant topics.
I do not expect everyone to understand or even to try to understand , to those that do, thank you .

Not the first, or last, time a newspaper exagerrated stuff. Fully understand your situation and hope you'll be ok.

 

[JimmyFingers]

Appreciate you coming in and explaining the situation Darryl, and I can empathise (and I do not use that word lightly) with you. Hope things improve for you.

Sometimes we need to share a peace pipe here in the clinic.

In California you'd be fine.

Completely understand the situation.

The OP was looking for scandal. Shame on them.

 

[Dear Wiggo]

Thanks for the update, Darryl, much appreciated. Brings a dose of reality back into the discussion.

Could they have chosen an uglier recent photo!? Man alive.

 

[horsinabout]

I'm not getting good vibes from this thread. Should it be in the clinic?

I don't know much about Webster, I remember him from way back doing time trials and track - being very gifted at both. Don't know what happened with him. But this is a sad thread.

Given he contributes here, I think it helps to provide a platform for him to get his point across. Helps his credibility.

I'm sure everyone appreciates your openness on this but instead of smoking weed have you tried other ways to tackle depression? Just interested. That's all.

 

[DirtyWorks]

I pointed out that if you were a parent you wouldn't be too happy to find some scumbag selling cannabis to your kids .

The "what about the children!?!?!?" argument is a classic misdirect used to shift/defend an opinion regardless of the validity. Please stop now.

It's a great opportunity to debunk the "supply-side attack" strategy used by some governments. It doesn't work. It hasn't slowed the consumption/demand for the drugs. Criminalization works to some degree, but more severe penalties do not result in declines in use. The U.S. commitment to this failed strategy for decades is the perfect example.

To put it as simply as possible, the drugs sell themselves. Which is why the demand side, the kids in your doomsday scenario, is where the problem needs to be addressed. There's no resolution either. It's not going away. Protecting people from themselves is impossible.

My best wishes to Darryl.

Makes sense, Darryl. Sod the Man. Can't expect Him to get it anyway.

 

[DirtyWorks]

I'm sure everyone appreciates your openness on this but instead of smoking weed have you tried other ways to tackle depression? Just interested. That's all.

I have some experience with this and suggest you look up benzo and ssri side effects. Those two are very common drug classes prescribed for what Darryl is describing. Suicidality is a side effect.

There are other drug classes, but I'm not a psychiatrist and don't know Darryl's situation.

It's a complicated thing and expensive and perhaps disruptive to daily life to try a number of different drugs assuming you have a doctor that interested in pursuing the issue as much as the patient.
