Who is the real Kristian Roulet and where on earth does he come from?

The shadowy figure snared at a major cannabis farm in a sleepy, idyllic corner ofWarwickshire remains a mystery man – even after being jailed.

Police are still not certain Kristian Roulet is who he claims to be – or about where he comes from.

The 18-year-old claimed to be French, but an interpreter pinpointed his accent to south-east Europe, possibly Albania.

Roulet has no documents revealing his identity.

What is known is that he was caretaker of a £66,000 cannabis crop that filled a modest, three-bedroomed home in Long Itchington.

After having spent decades (and a few days in jail) as one of the world’s most famous users of marijuana, Paul McCartney claims that he has given it up. In a new interview, he says that he quit in order to be a better role model to his descendants.

“I don’t do it any more,” he tells the Daily Mirror. “Why? The truth is I don’t really want to set an example to my kids and grandkids. It’s now a parent thing.”

There has been considerable confusion and concern around new government plans to ban legal highs. Scientifically, the only solution is to ban the human brain

A drugs gang who were pulled over by police and found with 1.3 tonnes of cannabis worth £6 million have been jailed today for a total of 25 years.

The men were seen leaving a farm in Mayland, Essex, in a flatbed lorry loaded with wooden pallets in between panes of glass and mirrors but concealed inside were packages of cannabis resin.

Police arrested driver Peter Tough, 53, and his passenger, Danny Williams, 41, at the scene in January while another load packaged in the same way was found at an industrial unit. 

The author and TV presenter says we have the chance to learn from America's lesson as an increasing number of States make the drug legal.

The 24-year-old woman and 35-year-old man are due to appear at Newtownards Magistrates’ Court on Saturday accused of money laundering.

Police arrested the pair in Milton Keynes on Thursday morning. They also seized two high-value vehicles.

The man and woman are the latest to be charged as part of an ongoing investigation into the supply of cannabis from Italy to Northern Ireland.

In March, £800,000 worth of drugs were seized in the region during the PSNI-led operation, working with colleagues from the Italian Carabinieri and the National Crime Agency.

At the time, searches were carried out in Belfast, Greenisland, Bangor, Newtownards and Ballywalter – and in the Prato and Bologna areas of Italy.

Banned: Substances will now be guilty until proven innocent

Even by the standards of modern legislation, the psychoactive substances bill is startlingly inane. It seems to ban any substance which can cause a mental or emotional reaction. As must be obvious, that's almost everything in the world. Did this taste remind you of your mother's cooking? It's a psychoactive substance. Did it bring you a moment of happiness? It's a psychoactive substance. The government is about to ban almost everything.

This is not, to be fair, the legislation. This is just the advert. But the description of the bill in the Queen's Speech is troubling enough.

Governments and communities worldwide are softening their views on cannabis use. Trials of medicinal cannabis have been approved in Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales. And the Australian parliament is currently debating legislation to introduce a government regulator of medicinal cannabis.

It shouldn’t sound all that strange! The UK has been a hemp growing nation since records began and believe it or not once upon a time you could actually get fined for not growing hemp if you had enough land. Queen Elizabeth the 1stwas pretty serious about this plant!

Simply put, the UK and its far reaching empire quite literally wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for the super strong properties of hemp, it’s durability and anti-rotting nature meant that out at sea it was uncompetable with. You could say hemp made the world a smaller place way before the invention of the plane

Getting so many pro hemp people in one space all at the same time can only mean good things are about to happen.
