1
00:00:01,850 --> 00:00:04,300
Cannabis, dope, weed, chronic...

2
00:00:04,350 --> 00:00:05,500
Whatever you call it,

3
00:00:05,550 --> 00:00:08,100
it's the most widely used
illegal drug in Britain

4
00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:10,600
with more than two million people
using it last year.

5
00:00:10,650 --> 00:00:13,200
But how much harm
does cannabis actually cause?

6
00:00:13,250 --> 00:00:14,700
Like most young people in the UK

7
00:00:14,750 --> 00:00:16,600
I have smoked cannabis in the past.

8
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:18,400
Like most young people in the UK

9
00:00:18,450 --> 00:00:22,000
I didn't think it was doing any harm
to myself or anybody else.

10
00:00:22,350 --> 00:00:23,500
In the last programme,

11
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:25,800
I discovered just how common
the use of cannabis is,

12
00:00:25,850 --> 00:00:28,300
and met smokers
growing it for themselves.

13
00:00:28,850 --> 00:00:31,500
It is going on all over the country

14
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:34,100
and you wouldn't know it is happening.

15
00:00:34,150 --> 00:00:38,900
Now I want to find who's really behind the enormous  boom
in large scale weed production

16
00:00:39,050 --> 00:00:43,300
This is organized crime.

17
00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:44,300
Who's buying it?

18
00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:47,900
And what's the cost some people
are paying in addiction?

19
00:00:47,950 --> 00:00:49,900
Kids don't do drugs
until they are teenagers.

20
00:00:49,950 --> 00:00:52,300
They do, it is a fact.

21
00:00:53,850 --> 00:00:57,700
I'll be embedded with the authorities
trying to stop the drug
being smuggled into Britain,

22
00:00:57,750 --> 00:01:01,400
and I'll follow the police in trying to uncover the gangs
behind the cannabis business.

23
00:01:08,250 --> 00:01:11,700
I'll hear from unwitting victims
who've been trafficked into this country
to help grow it

24
00:01:12,150 --> 00:01:14,000
We were allowed to leave the house?
No.

25
00:01:14,050 --> 00:01:15,700
The its sounds like slave labour.

26
00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:20,000
And how some cannabis turf wars
have even ended in murder.

27
00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:22,900
Cannabis is a controversial drug

28
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:26,700
and I want to go beyond the headlines...
To find out what's the harm in cannabis?

29
00:01:33,750 --> 00:01:36,200
Cannabis is a drug that has been around
for 4,000 years.

30
00:01:36,250 --> 00:01:39,800
But it wasn't made illegal
in the UK until 1928.

31
00:01:40,750 --> 00:01:43,300
Many famous people have confessed
to smoking it.

32
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:45,400
Even the President of America.

33
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:50,200
In the last few years
it's been reclassified
from a Class C to Class B,

34
00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:54,400
meaning if you're caught with it
you can receive up to a 5-year prison sentence,

35
00:01:54,450 --> 00:01:58,300
and if you're found supplying it
you face up to 14 years inside.

36
00:01:58,350 --> 00:02:02,500
Up until 2007 the police were busting
800 cannabis factories a year

37
00:02:02,750 --> 00:02:06,300
but this rocketed to nearly 7000 in 2009.

38
00:02:06,650 --> 00:02:12,100
So, I want discover for myself who's buying
and who's supplying the most popular drug in Britain.

39
00:02:15,850 --> 00:02:19,400
The start of my search
is taking me to the heart of England.

40
00:02:19,450 --> 00:02:24,600
Just arriving at a pub in the West Midlands
to meet Michael on Rob.

41
00:02:24,650 --> 00:02:31,100
They are very enthusiastic about it.

42
00:02:31,550 --> 00:02:38,900
They also play in a band.

43
00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:40,900
This is Michael and Rob,

44
00:02:40,950 --> 00:02:43,100
one half of a band called 'Jimmy the fool.'

45
00:02:43,150 --> 00:02:46,600
They're spending their day off from work
practicing in their local pub.

46
00:02:46,850 --> 00:02:51,000
I want to find out from the boys
what it is they love about cannabis

47
00:02:51,050 --> 00:02:53,700
and more importantly
do they know where they get it from?

48
00:02:59,950 --> 00:03:03,500
Welcome to the Black Country.

49
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:06,000
What an introduction.

50
00:03:06,950 --> 00:03:10,700
You must be? Michael. I am Rob.

51
00:03:10,750 --> 00:03:12,700
Nice to meet you.

52
00:03:14,450 --> 00:03:16,800
Thanks for letting me come
to speak to you.

53
00:03:16,850 --> 00:03:19,700
Might take it to you obit cannabis enthusiasts?

54
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:20,400
Yes we are.

55
00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:27,000
Smoked it for about 10 years.

56
00:03:27,450 --> 00:03:30,400
Smoke give to enjoy music,
play music and write music

57
00:03:30,450 --> 00:03:31,300
and just to chill out.

58
00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:35,700
It sounds like a positive thing for you?

59
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:39,700
Finishing work and relaxing and having a spliffs,

60
00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:42,700
forgetting the whole day.

61
00:03:42,750 --> 00:03:44,400
I don't know, place some guitar.

62
00:03:45,650 --> 00:03:51,800
Shall we go and have a spliffs?

63
00:03:51,850 --> 00:03:53,600
you want to pop out.

64
00:03:53,950 --> 00:03:54,500
I will walk with you.

65
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:58,100
I know a lovely little spot near by.

66
00:04:03,150 --> 00:04:05,000
Has smoking indoors is banned,

67
00:04:05,050 --> 00:04:09,100
they like to take their recreational breaks
in the nearby park.

68
00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:13,800
In your early 30s,

69
00:04:13,850 --> 00:04:16,900
you have to sneak out
to have a split in the cold.

70
00:04:16,950 --> 00:04:20,700
He will have the police
saying, excuse me sir.

71
00:04:20,750 --> 00:04:27,900
No venue have to explain
what you're doing and
they know what you're doing.

72
00:04:27,950 --> 00:04:30,400
It is a waste of their time and mine,

73
00:04:30,450 --> 00:04:34,000
so it is best to stay out of the way.

74
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:37,800
How much do you smoke,
get through a week?

75
00:04:38,650 --> 00:04:41,300
It depends on what you're doing,

76
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:43,000
what your finances are like.

77
00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:45,200
What the availability is like,

78
00:04:45,550 --> 00:04:47,400
when you don't grow it yourself.

79
00:04:49,450 --> 00:04:54,000
What are you smoking? Is it skunk?

80
00:04:54,050 --> 00:04:56,600
It is whatever it is.

81
00:04:56,650 --> 00:05:00,800
You don't know what strain it is?

82
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:05,200
It's regular,
I don't need to know the breed.

83
00:05:05,250 --> 00:05:08,300
We have a dependable man
who helps us out.

84
00:05:08,350 --> 00:05:12,900
We trust the guy we buy it off.

85
00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:16,200
You can grow it in bulk
or grow quality.

86
00:05:16,250 --> 00:05:17,400
We go for the quality.

87
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:21,300
If you want the bulk
head to the town centres
and find it anywhere.

88
00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:25,600
But do you want to? No thank you.

89
00:05:25,650 --> 00:05:30,500
Does the guy you get it off,
Rovers don't forget it supplied to him?

90
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:32,400
He gets it from a friend.

91
00:05:32,450 --> 00:05:36,200
That sort of goes away from
knowing way you get it from.

92
00:05:36,250 --> 00:05:37,500
I know his friend.

93
00:05:45,750 --> 00:05:52,000
I wanted to clarify,
sometimes you're putting money in the pockets
of someone who is very dodgy.

94
00:05:52,050 --> 00:05:55,100
Michael and Rob believe
they're not harming anyone

95
00:05:55,150 --> 00:05:57,800
because they know who they get it from.

96
00:05:57,850 --> 00:06:00,000
But what happens
if users don't know the source?

97
00:06:00,050 --> 00:06:03,400
Many people who smoke cannabis
don't know where their weed comes from.

98
00:06:03,450 --> 00:06:05,400
And that could be a problem.

99
00:06:05,450 --> 00:06:07,700
To find out how cannabis is supplied

100
00:06:07,750 --> 00:06:09,400
I need to speak to a dealer

101
00:06:09,450 --> 00:06:12,300
who can tell me about how the business
side of cannabis works

102
00:06:12,350 --> 00:06:15,100
from street level up to the very top?

103
00:06:15,150 --> 00:06:18,100
I'm in South London to meet someone
who used to sell cannabis.

104
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:20,700
I am here to meet some man called Clyde.

105
00:06:20,850 --> 00:06:24,600
He is a former cannabis dealer.

106
00:06:24,650 --> 00:06:27,900
He should be around here somewhere.

107
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:35,600
Nice to meet you.

108
00:06:35,650 --> 00:06:38,700
Are you well? Thanks for meeting me.

109
00:06:38,750 --> 00:06:40,700
You are welcome.

110
00:06:40,750 --> 00:06:42,900
Clyde began smoking when he was 13

111
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:45,200
and moved into dealing
when he was still at school.

112
00:06:45,950 --> 00:06:48,300
How old were you when you first started?

113
00:06:48,350 --> 00:06:52,200
15, I became a small-time dealer.

114
00:06:55,550 --> 00:06:57,800
What is the difference before you were 15

115
00:06:57,850 --> 00:07:00,800
and then what you class as
becoming a small-time dealer,

116
00:07:00,850 --> 00:07:01,600
what is the difference?

117
00:07:02,850 --> 00:07:06,600
Before it was just about me,
not about anybody else.

118
00:07:06,650 --> 00:07:09,200
If I pick something up for me,

119
00:07:09,250 --> 00:07:11,900
I might go out with the boys
and have a smoke.

120
00:07:11,950 --> 00:07:13,900
When I started dealing,

121
00:07:13,950 --> 00:07:17,300
people would ring my phone
and ask me for stuff.

122
00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:22,900
Then it was supply and demand,
so I was dealing.

123
00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:25,700
I did not realise
when the switch actually happened.

124
00:07:25,950 --> 00:07:29,000
It was only when I was at home sleeping

125
00:07:29,050 --> 00:07:31,700
and somebody rang my phone
and I had to get up and meet them.

126
00:07:31,750 --> 00:07:33,400
I realised it was a job,

127
00:07:33,450 --> 00:07:36,400
I'm going out in the middle of the night

128
00:07:36,450 --> 00:07:39,700
to meet you on a shady corner
and serve you.

129
00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:43,000
But when I realised
I became a drug dealer.

130
00:07:43,050 --> 00:07:46,800
What I want to know is
who's who in the supply chain?

131
00:07:51,650 --> 00:07:54,600
Who was up but you, below you?

132
00:07:54,650 --> 00:07:57,200
At the top you have your Sir Alex Ferguson,
the boss.

133
00:07:58,650 --> 00:08:00,500
A lot of the time it is grown abroad

134
00:08:00,550 --> 00:08:04,800
and they ship it over here.

135
00:08:04,850 --> 00:08:08,000
The new have farmers in England
growing weed.

136
00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:09,800
You have people growing it in houses.

137
00:08:09,850 --> 00:08:14,200
They will sell to the manager, as it were.

138
00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:16,400
He will buy it in kilos.

139
00:08:17,050 --> 00:08:22,800
He will take the kilos
and sell to some of the lower down the chain.

140
00:08:22,850 --> 00:08:27,700
Then you have your small-time dealers
like how I was when I was 15.

141
00:08:27,750 --> 00:08:31,400
You buy half an ounce,
by an ounce and make ￡15, ￡20.

142
00:08:34,950 --> 00:08:37,300
How much were you are earning?

143
00:08:39,050 --> 00:08:42,600
The most I have ever earned
from selling weed would be

144
00:08:42,650 --> 00:08:44,200
a couple of hundred in a week.

145
00:08:45,250 --> 00:08:47,200
When dealing started,

146
00:08:47,250 --> 00:08:51,300
it was the buzz of being big guy
of having something
what people wanted.

147
00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:56,500
It was never about money,
gang culture for me.

148
00:08:56,550 --> 00:08:59,400
People would come up to meet and ask
if I had anything.

149
00:08:59,450 --> 00:09:03,100
I said yes,
I was satisfying somebody's need.

150
00:09:03,150 --> 00:09:07,400
By doing what I was doing,
in a way I was worth something.

151
00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:12,500
To this group of people,
I was the man to them.

152
00:09:12,850 --> 00:09:18,600
That is why I started dealing
and that is what happens with a lot of use.

153
00:09:18,650 --> 00:09:26,400
Is that a common way for people your age
for people to get a bit of money and stuff?

154
00:09:26,450 --> 00:09:31,300
It was. In my area,
I would say there were three reasons.

155
00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:36,500
One was money, some people did it for like I say,
the fame, as it were.

156
00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:39,900
Some people did it
because that's all they knew.

157
00:09:39,950 --> 00:09:44,300
A lot of us, it is sad to say
we did not know any better.

158
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:47,200
That is what around you,
it is a culture.

159
00:09:47,550 --> 00:09:50,500
It is not just a cup black culture,
it is just a culture.

160
00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:56,100
Two years ago, Clyde stopped smoking and dealing
after becoming a born-again Christian

161
00:09:56,350 --> 00:09:59,100
He is now working as a drugs counsellor
with school children.

162
00:09:59,550 --> 00:10:04,700
How has your life changed?

163
00:10:04,750 --> 00:10:07,200
Everything. Everything is different.

164
00:10:07,250 --> 00:10:11,500
I work in the community,
the same community I was helping to destroy,

165
00:10:11,850 --> 00:10:14,900
is the same community
I am trying to repair.

166
00:10:18,750 --> 00:10:22,100
We go into youth clubs,
we go into schools, churches

167
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:25,000
we educate on the dangers of drugs,
drug prevention.

168
00:10:25,050 --> 00:10:26,900
It is a total turnaround.

169
00:10:27,850 --> 00:10:32,500
The cash he earned,
was one of the reasons why people like Clyde
going to dealing.

170
00:10:33,150 --> 00:10:36,900
But the big money is might by those
working high up the chain

171
00:10:37,150 --> 00:10:42,900
Today I'm meeting someone
who grew the plant deliberately.

172
00:10:42,950 --> 00:10:45,200
I am on my way
to meet a cannabis farmer.

173
00:10:45,250 --> 00:10:48,600
which is someone who grows cannabis

174
00:10:55,650 --> 00:10:58,200
We have to meet in a neutral location.

175
00:10:58,750 --> 00:11:02,600
He is concerned about security and safety.

176
00:11:02,650 --> 00:11:04,600
I think this is the place.

177
00:11:09,250 --> 00:11:12,300
He will only meet me on condition
I don't say where he is from

178
00:11:12,350 --> 00:11:14,400
an don't show his face.

179
00:11:14,450 --> 00:11:16,000
They just call him Rob.

180
00:11:21,850 --> 00:11:24,500
Cannabis farmers spread out
into the suburbs

181
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:29,100
and then the countryside
as the police crackdown in the cities.

182
00:11:30,950 --> 00:11:33,400
Now many operate
in remote places like this

183
00:11:33,450 --> 00:11:35,500
where they can grow on notice.

184
00:11:35,550 --> 00:11:38,100
I just wait now.

185
00:11:44,050 --> 00:11:48,300
Hello mate. I and James.

186
00:11:49,950 --> 00:11:51,700
You were a cannabis farmer?

187
00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:54,300
What does that mean?

188
00:11:54,350 --> 00:11:59,100
Exactly as it sounds,
I grew cannabis, put plants in pots.

189
00:11:59,150 --> 00:12:02,000
I would grow them,
water them and feed them,

190
00:12:02,050 --> 00:12:03,600
make sure they will warm enough

191
00:12:03,650 --> 00:12:05,600
and had the right amount of light.

192
00:12:06,150 --> 00:12:11,300
Then I would pass them
on to the wholesalers.

193
00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:14,000
How long way you are cannabis farmer?

194
00:12:14,050 --> 00:12:15,600
Over a decade.

195
00:12:15,650 --> 00:12:20,100
Tell me about the money,
how much would you be learned from this?

196
00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:24,500
might be 4,000 a year.

197
00:12:26,650 --> 00:12:29,200
It is a decent wage.

198
00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:34,100
If you are growing drugs are essentially,
you would be on millions?

199
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:42,500
There are some people will laugh.

200
00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:46,700
The majority of people in this business
I know are not loaded.

201
00:12:46,750 --> 00:12:48,700
A lot of them are very comfortable

202
00:12:48,750 --> 00:12:50,400
but they are not loaded.

203
00:12:50,450 --> 00:12:55,900
Rob would earn his money
by setting up and running at fully kitted out
cannabis farm in a place like this.

204
00:12:55,950 --> 00:12:59,000
Is this the sort of place you would use?

205
00:12:59,050 --> 00:13:04,000
It would need a new roof on it and walls.

206
00:13:04,050 --> 00:13:06,600
But you could use some were like this.

207
00:13:06,650 --> 00:13:09,400
How would you go about using this space?

208
00:13:09,450 --> 00:13:12,200
Making sure it was well insulated for a start.

209
00:13:13,450 --> 00:13:18,300
How will probably put up to 500 plants in here
with a bit of space between them.

210
00:13:18,350 --> 00:13:23,900
You can keep an eye on them.

211
00:13:25,150 --> 00:13:29,700
What I wanted to find out was
did he work alone when he set up a factory,

212
00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:32,900
or was he working for with anyone else?

213
00:13:34,450 --> 00:13:37,200
I was an individual operator.

214
00:13:37,250 --> 00:13:39,300
How many people like you
did you know?

215
00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:44,200
A rough guess,
how many people in England
might be doing it?

216
00:13:44,250 --> 00:13:47,800
Tens of thousands, if not more.

217
00:13:49,250 --> 00:13:51,500
It is a very, very common thing

218
00:13:51,550 --> 00:13:58,200
although it is getting tougher
because police are investigating
and cracking down.

219
00:13:58,250 --> 00:14:03,800
the only people producing this
and making money out of it,

220
00:14:03,850 --> 00:14:09,000
it is when you put the frighteners on people
by busting people left right and centre.

221
00:14:09,050 --> 00:14:14,500
Most people naturally
will lose their nerve essentially
and packets in.

222
00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:18,000
The only people doing it
are the people who don't give a monkey's.

223
00:14:18,050 --> 00:14:21,800
Are the only thing
that makes you do it at the moment

224
00:14:21,850 --> 00:14:25,900
is putting more power and money into

225
00:14:25,950 --> 00:14:30,500
Rob believes that organized gangs
are behind the bulk of UK cannabis production,

226
00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:34,300
which is why busting factories
is now a bigger priority for the police.

227
00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:39,000
I've been following Avon and Somerset police
for four weeks, on Operation Viscount,

228
00:14:39,050 --> 00:14:41,300
which is targeting cannabis factories

229
00:14:41,350 --> 00:14:44,600
not just in the cities but in rural areas too.

230
00:14:46,050 --> 00:14:50,700
In Bridgwater, Somerset,
the Police have received intelligence
about a suspected large cannabis factory

231
00:14:50,750 --> 00:14:52,800
in the heart of the countryside.

232
00:14:52,850 --> 00:14:56,900
It is a section 23 misuse of drugs
Act warrant.

233
00:14:56,950 --> 00:15:05,500
We have heard they are cultivated cannabis
in the farm buildings there.

234
00:15:05,650 --> 00:15:09,400
If you flip over,
you will find an aerial view.

235
00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:22,100
The police have been tipped off
there might be anything from 300 to 1,000 plants
being grown on the farm.

236
00:15:39,450 --> 00:15:41,900
There are no signs
of any plants being grown.

237
00:15:41,950 --> 00:15:44,000
If cannabis was being cultivated,

238
00:15:44,050 --> 00:15:46,700
it would be hard to hide a professional set-up.
would expect to Smollett.

239
00:15:46,750 --> 00:15:50,100
It is farming country!

240
00:15:51,050 --> 00:15:53,100
Its miles of shite!

241
00:15:54,150 --> 00:15:56,300
It's a fruitless 30-minute's search.

242
00:15:56,550 --> 00:16:00,000
Then one policeman detects a faint smell
from some haystacks.

243
00:16:00,150 --> 00:16:03,800
And this time
it's not coming from a cow.

244
00:16:05,950 --> 00:16:08,800
There is a secret building
behind the haystack,

245
00:16:08,850 --> 00:16:10,500
which may be what they are looking for.

246
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:18,400
The entrance to this secret building
is on the opposite side of the barn,

247
00:16:18,450 --> 00:16:20,900
so the officers dash around.

248
00:16:20,950 --> 00:16:27,200
The concealed building
within this barn is beyond this

249
00:16:30,550 --> 00:16:32,400
Let's see what we are dealing with.

250
00:16:37,050 --> 00:16:39,600
The door is purpose built out of cast-iron,

251
00:16:39,650 --> 00:16:42,000
and is proving difficult to open.

252
00:16:42,050 --> 00:16:43,200
It is one helluva door.

253
00:16:43,250 --> 00:16:45,600
You wonder what it is concealing.

254
00:16:47,550 --> 00:16:50,200
40 minutes of hard graft
finally pays off.

255
00:16:57,450 --> 00:17:01,800
Whoever has built this
has gone to great lengths in setting up

256
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:10,100
Oh, yes.

257
00:17:10,150 --> 00:17:11,200
It is looking good.

258
00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:15,500
It looks like we have four capsules,

259
00:17:15,550 --> 00:17:17,500
these two and the two next door.

260
00:17:17,550 --> 00:17:19,300
These are quite mature.

261
00:17:19,350 --> 00:17:24,600
The police find over 400 plants
worth an estimated ￡400,000.

262
00:17:24,950 --> 00:17:28,300
A man and a woman were later arrested
for cannabis production.

263
00:17:37,850 --> 00:17:40,200
The number of factories uncovered by the police

264
00:17:40,250 --> 00:17:43,600
has soared by 850% in the last four years.

265
00:17:43,850 --> 00:17:46,600
No part of the country's immune
from this boom.

266
00:17:46,850 --> 00:17:51,000
Even rural areas like this
where growers think they can go unnoticed.

267
00:17:51,850 --> 00:17:55,600
The cannabis grown in this rural factory
can end up on any street in Britain.

268
00:17:55,650 --> 00:17:57,400
It might even stay local.

269
00:17:57,750 --> 00:18:00,100
Half an hour down the road from Bridgwater
is Glastonbury,

270
00:18:00,150 --> 00:18:04,300
I'm here to meet a teenager
who is in trouble with the law
for his cannabis habit

271
00:18:08,250 --> 00:18:10,200
It's 8am on a Tuesday morning,

272
00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:12,900
and I'm at the home
of 14 year-old Nathan

273
00:18:15,950 --> 00:18:19,900
Are you Kerry? I and James.

274
00:18:20,550 --> 00:18:23,500
Kerry's son Nathan
is a heavy smoker of cannabis.

275
00:18:25,050 --> 00:18:27,800
You have a visitor.

276
00:18:30,550 --> 00:18:33,400
Morning, Nathan.

277
00:18:33,850 --> 00:18:36,000
Sorry to do this to you, mate.

278
00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:39,800
I you're not going to be up for school this morning?

279
00:18:39,850 --> 00:18:43,200
is on bail but half 11.

280
00:18:43,850 --> 00:18:45,400
What is the answering bail for?

281
00:18:45,450 --> 00:18:48,700
Probably burglary or something.

282
00:18:53,950 --> 00:18:56,100
Nathan's been arrested for burglary,

283
00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:59,500
and he attends a school for students
with behavioural difficulties.

284
00:18:59,550 --> 00:19:04,200
Is this the normal routine,
trying to drag him out of bed?

285
00:19:04,250 --> 00:19:07,900
Yes, he wakes up with a dope handover.

286
00:19:09,050 --> 00:19:12,300
He finds it really difficult.

287
00:19:12,350 --> 00:19:14,400
Does he smoke in the mornings?

288
00:19:14,450 --> 00:19:16,200
He does, if he has got some.

289
00:19:16,250 --> 00:19:19,400
He will try to have a snack
before he goes to school.

290
00:19:19,450 --> 00:19:21,600
He started when he was 10.

291
00:19:23,850 --> 00:19:26,400
And that is when the behaviour problems
started, as well?

292
00:19:28,050 --> 00:19:30,700
10 years old, that his primary-school.

293
00:19:32,950 --> 00:19:37,100
People think kids don't do drugs
until they are teenagers,

294
00:19:37,150 --> 00:19:39,800
well, they do. And it's a fact.

295
00:19:40,950 --> 00:19:43,100
Nathan's dad died of when he was six,

296
00:19:43,150 --> 00:19:47,900
and Kerry's subsequent two relationships
were violent ones
which Nathan witnessed.

297
00:19:47,950 --> 00:19:50,500
Obviously that had an effect.

298
00:19:50,550 --> 00:19:53,200
He ended up playing up at school,

299
00:19:54,450 --> 00:19:58,900
and the smoking was a way
to forget what he had been through.

300
00:19:59,950 --> 00:20:04,100
It is just soul-destroying
to think he is wasting his life away.

301
00:20:04,150 --> 00:20:09,500
He is damaging his body.

302
00:20:09,550 --> 00:20:11,200
And I don't know what to do.

303
00:20:11,250 --> 00:20:14,100
If I knew, I would be doing it.

304
00:20:14,150 --> 00:20:18,000
His cannabis use is leading him
to repeatedly break the law.

305
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:19,700
Nathan?

306
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:21,500
Are you coming down?

307
00:20:25,150 --> 00:20:28,400
Give us a rough time?
Couple of minutes?

308
00:20:29,050 --> 00:20:33,000
He is. Nice to finally meet you,
Sleeping Beauty.

309
00:20:33,050 --> 00:20:34,700
I'm James.

310
00:20:36,150 --> 00:20:37,900
Have you got any with you this morning?

311
00:20:37,950 --> 00:20:40,400
I haven't.

312
00:20:40,450 --> 00:20:42,200
Do you smoke every day?

313
00:20:42,250 --> 00:20:44,700
A little bit, yes.

314
00:20:45,450 --> 00:20:48,000
How much do you smoke a day?

315
00:20:48,850 --> 00:20:50,700
How much I can get, really.

316
00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:54,000
How do you get the money?

317
00:20:54,050 --> 00:20:56,200
don't know.

318
00:20:56,550 --> 00:21:02,100
Sometimes I do work round the house,
or just random things.

319
00:21:02,150 --> 00:21:03,800
I'm going to ask you something quite direct.

320
00:21:03,850 --> 00:21:07,600
You're going to post bail today.

321
00:21:07,650 --> 00:21:10,100
You're posting bail for burglary, right?

322
00:21:10,150 --> 00:21:13,000
Was that to get money for it?

323
00:21:13,050 --> 00:21:14,600
it was.

324
00:21:14,650 --> 00:21:17,600
If there is that something
you have done quite often?

325
00:21:17,650 --> 00:21:19,200
I have done it before.

326
00:21:19,250 --> 00:21:21,600
So you go and burgle people's has his?

327
00:21:24,650 --> 00:21:28,100
Yes. I don't do it all the time.

328
00:21:28,450 --> 00:21:30,200
Hardly ever.

329
00:21:30,250 --> 00:21:32,900
Nathan's committing burglary
to get money to fund

330
00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:36,000
what he feels is becoming
more than just a habit.

331
00:21:36,050 --> 00:21:37,600
Do you feel the addicted?

332
00:21:37,950 --> 00:21:39,400
I don't know.

333
00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:43,100
I think I am addicted to it, yes.

334
00:21:45,950 --> 00:21:48,800
Do you want to stop smoking it?

335
00:21:49,550 --> 00:21:51,600
Are you doing anything
to help you stop?

336
00:21:51,650 --> 00:21:55,800
I do. I am meeting these people
call on the level,

337
00:21:57,150 --> 00:22:00,500
they say they will help.

338
00:22:04,450 --> 00:22:07,300
On the Level is Nathan's
local drug advice centre.

339
00:22:08,150 --> 00:22:10,600
I hope he gets the help he needs.

340
00:22:11,150 --> 00:22:14,200
I just met young Nathan.

341
00:22:14,250 --> 00:22:16,100
It is a bit shocking,

342
00:22:16,150 --> 00:22:19,100
smoking from such a young age.

343
00:22:19,950 --> 00:22:22,800
At that age,
I was running round the playground.

344
00:22:24,250 --> 00:22:27,200
He has been dealing
with a lot of stuff in his life.

345
00:22:28,650 --> 00:22:31,200
It feels like
he is missing out on something,

346
00:22:31,250 --> 00:22:33,900
and he is replacing it using cannabis,
which is shocking to me.

347
00:22:35,250 --> 00:22:38,700
It is easy to be judgmental,
and I am trying not to be.

348
00:22:40,050 --> 00:22:42,000
It seems he has a lot of problems
to deal with.

349
00:22:42,450 --> 00:22:45,400
I didn't think it was possible
to be hooked on weed in the way Nathan is,

350
00:22:45,450 --> 00:22:49,300
so I'm curious to learn more about dependency
from a project here in Ipswich.

351
00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:51,000
It's called the Iceni Project,

352
00:22:51,050 --> 00:22:55,400
and they run one of the very few
cannabis dependency programmes
available in Britain.

353
00:22:58,750 --> 00:23:00,400
Sorry to interrupt.

354
00:23:00,650 --> 00:23:02,200
Hello, everyone.

355
00:23:03,350 --> 00:23:04,900
Is it OK to coming?

356
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:06,700
Absolutely!

357
00:23:06,750 --> 00:23:10,000
I and James, nice to meet you all.

358
00:23:10,450 --> 00:23:13,900
Hello, everyone.

359
00:23:13,950 --> 00:23:16,200
Where shall I sit?

360
00:23:16,550 --> 00:23:18,800
Come and sit near me.

361
00:23:19,850 --> 00:23:22,300
I'll look after you.

362
00:23:22,350 --> 00:23:23,900
Have you got a cannabis problem?

363
00:23:23,950 --> 00:23:25,400
No, I haven't.

364
00:23:25,750 --> 00:23:28,000
Have you any understanding of it?

365
00:23:28,050 --> 00:23:35,100
I have known people in my life
that have had drug addictions.

366
00:23:35,150 --> 00:23:38,700
I was unaware that cannabis
can be addictive.

367
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:42,000
Would you guys say it is addictive?

368
00:23:43,250 --> 00:23:48,500
Yes. Mentally addictive.

369
00:23:50,550 --> 00:23:54,300
I would say it can be physically addictive.

370
00:23:54,350 --> 00:23:58,500
I used to wake up and get sheiks,
hot and sweaty, feel faint.

371
00:23:58,550 --> 00:24:02,500
I did feel I was addicted to it,

372
00:24:02,550 --> 00:24:05,500
I had to have it every day,

373
00:24:05,550 --> 00:24:10,700
and my anxiety would come out if I didn't.

374
00:24:10,750 --> 00:24:14,500
So I felt like I was addicted.

375
00:24:14,550 --> 00:24:16,600
Jo started smoking at 15,

376
00:24:16,650 --> 00:24:19,300
and her habit grew so strong
that when she had children,

377
00:24:19,350 --> 00:24:21,200
she struggled to look after them.

378
00:24:21,250 --> 00:24:24,300
my kids taken off me
for alcohol and cannabis,

379
00:24:24,350 --> 00:24:29,900
and when I lost them,
I got really bad.

380
00:24:29,950 --> 00:24:33,200
But now I have given up.

381
00:24:33,250 --> 00:24:34,800
How long have you not smoked for?

382
00:24:34,850 --> 00:24:36,800
15 weeks and one day.

383
00:24:37,350 --> 00:24:39,700
Not that she is counting!

384
00:24:41,650 --> 00:24:42,600
How many kids have you got?

385
00:24:42,650 --> 00:24:43,700
I have got two.

386
00:24:44,850 --> 00:24:46,800
And you just went cold turkey?

387
00:24:46,850 --> 00:24:54,000
And you couldn't have done it
without this place?

388
00:24:54,250 --> 00:24:57,100
They have given me a lot of health
-- help and support.

389
00:24:57,150 --> 00:25:01,100
They have stopped me from relapsing
about a million times.

390
00:25:01,150 --> 00:25:05,000
How much were you smoking?

391
00:25:05,050 --> 00:25:07,900
Up to ￡50 a day.

392
00:25:07,950 --> 00:25:11,500
How much is that?

393
00:25:11,550 --> 00:25:13,900
Nearly half an ounce.

394
00:25:15,350 --> 00:25:16,700
Every day?

395
00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:21,100
Scientists haven't always agreed
whether cannabis is addictive.

396
00:25:21,150 --> 00:25:25,100
A Government report two years ago
however confirmed what I'd just heard,

397
00:25:25,150 --> 00:25:29,200
that heavy cannabis users do experience
psychological craving for the drug

398
00:25:29,250 --> 00:25:31,900
and physical withdrawal symptoms
if they stop.

399
00:25:31,950 --> 00:25:33,900
I wanted to find out from Susie,
the programme's counsellor

400
00:25:33,950 --> 00:25:37,600
if she thinks cannabis dependency
is a big problem than I'd thought.

401
00:25:37,650 --> 00:25:43,400
I know quite a lot of people
use cannabis occasionally,

402
00:25:43,450 --> 00:25:44,400
but in terms of addiction,

403
00:25:44,450 --> 00:25:48,900
it doesn't seem like that bit of a problem to me,
in terms of numbers.

404
00:25:48,950 --> 00:25:50,700
Not everyone is a problem,

405
00:25:51,050 --> 00:25:53,700
but far lot of people, it is.

406
00:25:53,750 --> 00:25:57,900
A woman phoned today,
she hasn't left her house in 20 years,

407
00:25:57,950 --> 00:26:00,300
because she is so paranoid.

408
00:26:02,350 --> 00:26:03,400
What is that?

409
00:26:03,450 --> 00:26:07,900
How often you get people like that?
Lots of times.

410
00:26:07,950 --> 00:26:09,700
Weekly, daily?

411
00:26:09,750 --> 00:26:12,700
Weekly. People call all the time

412
00:26:12,750 --> 00:26:15,200
now that they know
this course is happening.

413
00:26:15,250 --> 00:26:20,300
We could fill this place.

414
00:26:20,350 --> 00:26:21,700
We really could.

415
00:26:21,750 --> 00:26:26,000
I now have a better understanding
of the harm cannabis can cause individuals.

416
00:26:26,050 --> 00:26:27,800
Some people need help with addiction.

417
00:26:28,350 --> 00:26:33,200
The Iceni project has an 85 % success rate
on helping users give up cannabis,

418
00:26:33,250 --> 00:26:35,800
but it's one of only a few in the country.

419
00:26:35,850 --> 00:26:41,200
That's because cannabis addiction
isn't given the same funding
as Class A drugs or alcohol.

420
00:26:47,250 --> 00:26:51,000
I'm trying to find out how cannabis
is supplied to people like Jo and Nathan.

421
00:26:51,450 --> 00:26:53,900
So far I've met a dealer and a farmer,

422
00:26:53,950 --> 00:26:59,000
but I want to speak to someone
linked with those earning the seven figure sums
at the very top of the weed business.

423
00:26:59,850 --> 00:27:04,800
I am here on the White Cliffs of Dover
to meet Jason Wilson.

424
00:27:04,850 --> 00:27:09,900
His father was a cannabis smuggler
for years.

425
00:27:10,350 --> 00:27:13,000
It wasn't until the law
finally caught up with him...

426
00:27:14,750 --> 00:27:18,700
Jason's dad is Anthony Spencer
who was the head of an organized crime group

427
00:27:18,750 --> 00:27:21,100
and is currently serving time in a UK prison
for cannabis smuggling.

428
00:27:23,150 --> 00:27:27,000
Jason has since written a series of cartoon novels
about his Dad's experiences.

429
00:27:28,450 --> 00:27:31,100
I'm curious to find out
where cannabis comes from

430
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:32,900
and how it's smuggled in to the country

431
00:27:32,950 --> 00:27:36,800
without it being detected by the UK Border Agency...
Who police the borders.

432
00:27:37,450 --> 00:27:41,100
If you are going to smuggle
a large quantity of cannabis in,

433
00:27:41,350 --> 00:27:42,700
would it be on a vessel like that?

434
00:27:43,150 --> 00:27:48,000
That looks like a ferry
that you might take to France.

435
00:27:48,050 --> 00:27:49,700
Yes, it is just a regular ferry.

436
00:27:49,750 --> 00:27:54,000
Lorries, coaches, booze cruises.

437
00:27:54,250 --> 00:27:56,400
It might be on that ferry.

438
00:27:56,450 --> 00:27:59,000
There could be a lorry
with a consignment on board.

439
00:27:59,450 --> 00:28:01,300
A lorry driver just doing his normal job,

440
00:28:01,450 --> 00:28:06,300
it just happens this time of his consignment
will pay very well!

441
00:28:08,150 --> 00:28:14,200
There are many trade routes from Europe,
Africa, Asia and the Carribean
smuggling cannabis into the UK,

442
00:28:14,250 --> 00:28:16,600
but I wanted to know
which one Jason's Dad used.

443
00:28:16,750 --> 00:28:21,000
The source is the mountains
of Morocco and the farmers.

444
00:28:21,150 --> 00:28:26,200
You are dealing with farmers,
or with the so-called Moroccan Mafia.

445
00:28:26,250 --> 00:28:28,800
They have connections with a Brit,

446
00:28:29,250 --> 00:28:32,900
in my father's case, it was him.

447
00:28:32,950 --> 00:28:36,100
Once you have got your sauce,
you bring it over by boat.

448
00:28:39,250 --> 00:28:44,800
You have a little team
down in the south of Spain,
they packet for transport.

449
00:28:44,850 --> 00:28:49,000
They would drive the lorry
all the way up to Calais for you,

450
00:28:49,050 --> 00:28:53,200
and then it should be straightforward
through to Dover at the other end,

451
00:28:53,250 --> 00:29:00,100
and then goes to another safe house
where it is broken up and distributed.

452
00:29:00,150 --> 00:29:02,500
Within days,
the money starts coming in.

453
00:29:02,750 --> 00:29:06,300
The money goes back to Morocco,
and the whole chain begins again.

454
00:29:06,350 --> 00:29:08,900
As simple as that.

455
00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:10,800
It is a real involved organisation.

456
00:29:10,850 --> 00:29:12,100
This is real organised crime.

457
00:29:12,150 --> 00:29:16,500
If it was disorganised,
it wouldn't last long.

458
00:29:17,150 --> 00:29:18,500
It is very organised,

459
00:29:18,550 --> 00:29:21,700
and run like most businesses are,
but just without the paperwork!

460
00:29:23,850 --> 00:29:26,100
So was your dad the guy at the top?

461
00:29:26,150 --> 00:29:29,600
He was the top guy who controlled it
from Spain into England.

462
00:29:30,450 --> 00:29:32,600
He was convicted in Spain.

463
00:29:37,650 --> 00:29:38,600
He is out next year,

464
00:29:38,650 --> 00:29:41,700
and I think he is planning
on being retired know.

465
00:29:41,750 --> 00:29:46,500
If you don't mind me asking,
how much did he earn?

466
00:29:46,550 --> 00:29:53,600
In Morocco, say you are buying it
and selling it on wholesale,

467
00:29:53,650 --> 00:29:57,100
you make a lot of money.

468
00:29:57,150 --> 00:30:01,300
￡100 a key,
and you sell it for ￡1,000 a key?

469
00:30:01,350 --> 00:30:04,000
You have things to pay out on the way,

470
00:30:04,050 --> 00:30:05,400
and you can pay people well,

471
00:30:05,450 --> 00:30:07,800
but while that is going well,

472
00:30:07,850 --> 00:30:09,100
you can do brilliantly.

473
00:30:09,150 --> 00:30:12,100
But at some point,
something will go wrong.

474
00:30:12,150 --> 00:30:15,600
It is like gambling.

475
00:30:15,650 --> 00:30:17,300
At some point, things just go wrong.

476
00:30:18,150 --> 00:30:21,700
Do you think the UK Border Agency
are doing a good job
in deterring smugglers?

477
00:30:24,150 --> 00:30:25,600
There is only so much they can do.

478
00:30:25,650 --> 00:30:27,100
They can't go through everything.

479
00:30:27,150 --> 00:30:31,000
You can't scan lorries the way
they would like to do think they can.

480
00:30:31,050 --> 00:30:34,800
It is just a needle in a haystack.

481
00:30:34,850 --> 00:30:36,000
That is what they are looking for

482
00:30:36,450 --> 00:30:41,100
The UK Border Agency face a massive challenge
policing Britain's 600 ports

483
00:30:41,150 --> 00:30:43,700
and stopping cannabis being smuggled in.

484
00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:49,700
Smugglers use all kinds of clever ways
to sneak cannabis into the UK
without being detected.

485
00:30:52,750 --> 00:30:58,000
Over 23 million passengers
and six million vehicles
pass through UK ports each year.

486
00:31:00,150 --> 00:31:03,600
Officers use a combination
of intelligence leads and experience

487
00:31:03,650 --> 00:31:06,300
when deciding which vehicles
to select for inspection.

488
00:31:06,350 --> 00:31:10,500
We are task would looking for
various things,

489
00:31:10,550 --> 00:31:13,400
that might be people hiding in lorries,

490
00:31:13,450 --> 00:31:18,300
it and might be drugs,
firearms excise goods.

491
00:31:18,350 --> 00:31:22,800
The officers making the selections
are making it for a specific reason.

492
00:31:22,850 --> 00:31:26,700
If there is a space,
it does not matter how big a house more,

493
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:31,100
it can be filled with anything.
Cannabis, any other drug or excise goods.

494
00:31:32,350 --> 00:31:36,000
This French lorry is full of egg crates
and has been picked to be searched.

495
00:31:36,850 --> 00:31:40,800
Officer Bev Wetherill has a routine set of questions
that the driver needs to answer.

496
00:31:40,850 --> 00:31:43,400
Did you see this loaded?

497
00:31:43,450 --> 00:31:47,700
Did you see this put on the lorry?

498
00:31:48,650 --> 00:31:54,800
Yes. The no drugs,
no guns, no pistols?

499
00:31:54,850 --> 00:32:01,500
No gas, no knives, flick, stab?

500
00:32:04,350 --> 00:32:10,500
Obviously we don't all speak different languages
so we try to speak to them
in their own language,

501
00:32:10,550 --> 00:32:12,700
but it is not always very easy.

502
00:32:12,750 --> 00:32:16,300
My French is very limited
to what I learnt at school.

503
00:32:16,350 --> 00:32:19,900
They do understand some of the things.

504
00:32:19,950 --> 00:32:25,800
With limited access to search effectively
inside the lorry the officers
decide to x-ray its contents.

505
00:32:26,650 --> 00:32:29,700
The driver now has a nervous wait
to see if he's in the clear.

506
00:32:30,550 --> 00:32:32,500
He go-ahead image.

507
00:32:36,350 --> 00:32:38,100
Received.

508
00:32:38,150 --> 00:32:43,300
Image operator said it is clear
or so he is OK to go.

509
00:32:43,350 --> 00:32:47,000
We need to give him
the necessary paperwork.

510
00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:53,400
Last year the UKBA
seized 24.5 tonnes of cannabis.

511
00:32:53,450 --> 00:32:56,500
Which was 80 % of the total amount captured.

512
00:32:56,550 --> 00:33:00,300
But preventing the drug passing
through the ports
is only one half of the job.

513
00:33:00,350 --> 00:33:04,300
The other half is to do the same thing
at the UK's 63 airports.

514
00:33:05,250 --> 00:33:08,100
So I'm here at Gatwick to see exactly
what the officers see exactly what they.

515
00:33:08,150 --> 00:33:10,600
Where do you find most of the cannabis
comes from?

516
00:33:10,650 --> 00:33:13,800
It comes from Jamaica.

517
00:33:13,850 --> 00:33:17,100
Why is it the Caribbean specifically?

518
00:33:17,150 --> 00:33:20,400
It grows there.

519
00:33:20,450 --> 00:33:25,600
We obviously get personal use amounts
coming in from Europe
and the rest of the world,

520
00:33:25,650 --> 00:33:30,800
but for our purposes we are looking for
suitcases full of cannabis.

521
00:33:30,850 --> 00:33:33,300
We get them mainly from Jamaica.

522
00:33:33,350 --> 00:33:36,000
People actually transported in suitcases?

523
00:33:36,050 --> 00:33:38,800
More or less.

524
00:33:39,050 --> 00:33:41,800
The drug is hidden in a variety of ways.

525
00:33:41,850 --> 00:33:47,600
There has been a spate of cannabis
being hidden in pineapples.

526
00:33:47,650 --> 00:33:54,700
They put a block of cannabis
inside an bluetits back up.

527
00:33:54,750 --> 00:33:57,400
In pineapples?

528
00:33:57,450 --> 00:34:00,300
Anything at all.

529
00:34:00,950 --> 00:34:03,700
It is pretty bold isn't it?

530
00:34:03,950 --> 00:34:09,100
You keep someone employed over there,
it keeps us busy here.

531
00:34:09,450 --> 00:34:13,600
There are an estimated ten million suitcases
arriving at Gatwick each year...

532
00:34:13,650 --> 00:34:17,600
So officers have to be selective
what they choose to inspect.

533
00:34:23,950 --> 00:34:27,700
The UKBA officers use a combination
of sniffer dogs,

534
00:34:27,750 --> 00:34:32,200
x-ray machines, tip-offs and intelligence
to detect cannabis in luggage

535
00:34:32,250 --> 00:34:34,200
Does it come of dark?

536
00:34:34,250 --> 00:34:36,300
.. blue or something.

537
00:34:36,350 --> 00:34:40,000
It is a different colour,
but I like to look at the black and white,

538
00:34:41,850 --> 00:34:42,900
I find it easier.

539
00:34:42,950 --> 00:34:44,400
That one looks strange?

540
00:34:44,450 --> 00:34:47,100
There is a lot of bottles in there.

541
00:34:51,050 --> 00:34:52,100
White rum.

542
00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:58,000
Any bags looking suspicious
are checked using legal powers.

543
00:35:02,950 --> 00:35:06,800
We didn't find any cannabis
on this particular flight from Jamaica.

544
00:35:06,850 --> 00:35:11,600
We found coffee, condoms, seaweed,

545
00:35:11,650 --> 00:35:13,500
we did not find any cannabis.

546
00:35:13,550 --> 00:35:17,600
But, they are finding cannabis
on a weekly basis here at Gatwick.

547
00:35:19,350 --> 00:35:21,800
The UKBA officers may have been
empty handed at Gatwick,

548
00:35:21,850 --> 00:35:24,700
but another team at Heathrow
have got several hands full...

549
00:35:24,850 --> 00:35:29,900
Having just uncovered 160 kg of cannabis
in three cardboard boxes...

550
00:35:29,950 --> 00:35:33,800
Which has been sent from South Africa
via an air freight cargo company.

551
00:35:36,450 --> 00:35:38,600
The drugs are removed and will be put away
in secure storage.

552
00:35:38,650 --> 00:35:42,800
But whoever arrives to pick up the repacked boxes
will be unaware of this.

553
00:35:43,950 --> 00:35:48,600
An investigation team have been on stakeout
for 36 hours watching the depot,

554
00:35:48,650 --> 00:35:50,800
waiting for the drugs to be collected.

555
00:35:53,450 --> 00:35:54,700
The team have received a call

556
00:35:54,750 --> 00:35:58,700
telling them that a man has arrived
at the air freight depot
to collect the boxes,

557
00:35:58,750 --> 00:36:02,100
so the officers need to catch him
before he gets away

558
00:36:22,950 --> 00:36:24,600
A man is arrested

559
00:36:24,650 --> 00:36:26,900
However at this stage in the investigation,

560
00:36:27,050 --> 00:36:30,200
It is not clear if he is responsible
for importing drugs

561
00:36:30,250 --> 00:36:32,800
or just a paid career.

562
00:36:46,950 --> 00:36:49,500
During questioning, the suspect says

563
00:36:49,550 --> 00:36:54,200
he's been paid cash to collect the boxes
on behave the man
he met a couple of weeks ago.

564
00:37:17,350 --> 00:37:20,200
The suspect confesses
that he has some heroin on him

565
00:37:20,850 --> 00:37:24,000
Thanks for telling us
for being honest about what you've got

566
00:37:24,050 --> 00:37:26,100
The police have get in a police van here

567
00:37:33,550 --> 00:37:36,200
I'm sure they'll put their ears on for you

568
00:37:36,250 --> 00:37:39,000
get over and done as quickly as possible

569
00:37:39,150 --> 00:37:42,200
And then we'll be taken off
to the nearest police station

570
00:37:44,050 --> 00:37:47,200
The man was bailed
pending further investigation.

571
00:37:50,850 --> 00:37:53,800
Smugglers tend not to work
just office hours

572
00:37:53,850 --> 00:37:57,200
and neither do the staff
at the UK Borders Agency.

573
00:37:57,250 --> 00:38:03,200
I had just put a clean shirt
on and going out for some dinner,
so I thought.

574
00:38:03,250 --> 00:38:09,500
But I got a call from the UK Border Agency
to go to Felixstowe

575
00:38:09,550 --> 00:38:12,900
because they have some sort
of cannabis job on,

576
00:38:12,950 --> 00:38:15,900
they have found some in a trailer.

577
00:38:15,950 --> 00:38:19,000
I don't know much more than that.

578
00:38:24,050 --> 00:38:25,200
I am pretty excited.

579
00:38:25,250 --> 00:38:31,400
It is all a bit covert
and it is a privilege being here.

580
00:38:31,450 --> 00:38:32,900
Not many people get to do this.

581
00:38:33,550 --> 00:38:36,200
I've been invited
to a secret inspection area

582
00:38:36,250 --> 00:38:38,700
and officer Andy Rose
is waiting to meet me.

583
00:38:40,050 --> 00:38:43,200
How are you doing?

584
00:38:43,250 --> 00:38:44,400
In the middle of it?

585
00:38:44,450 --> 00:38:49,100
What has happened,
last night some colleagues

586
00:38:49,150 --> 00:38:53,000
were examining some freight
that arrive on a ferry from Holland.

587
00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:57,400
You can see it over there,
those oil drums,

588
00:38:57,450 --> 00:39:01,400
they are chemical drums.

589
00:39:01,450 --> 00:39:05,400
We opened one of them last night
and found what we believe to be cannabis.

590
00:39:06,450 --> 00:39:09,800
So we are going to have a look
in all of the drums today,

591
00:39:09,850 --> 00:39:12,800
get all of the packages out,
see what we have got.

592
00:39:12,850 --> 00:39:15,500
It was full of sand.

593
00:39:16,550 --> 00:39:18,200
And those of the packages?

594
00:39:18,250 --> 00:39:22,200
Basically they are hidden amongst the sand.

595
00:39:22,550 --> 00:39:25,100
How much would be in each of the drums?

596
00:39:25,150 --> 00:39:28,900
We are not sure exactly,
probably 100 packages in each

597
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:35,200
and each package probably
has a street value of ￡3,000.

598
00:39:35,250 --> 00:39:41,800
So you're talking
thousands of pounds worth of cannabis.

599
00:39:42,650 --> 00:39:46,400
This one looks like herbal cannabis.

600
00:39:47,350 --> 00:39:50,500
You can see the leaves and seeds.

601
00:39:51,350 --> 00:39:55,700
This one, is resin,

602
00:39:55,750 --> 00:40:04,400
and it actually does smell of cannabis
which is quite a unique smell.

603
00:40:04,450 --> 00:40:10,600
They get to millions of containers
coming through a year.

604
00:40:10,650 --> 00:40:16,800
There is such a small team,
they have the X-ray machine and all of that,

605
00:40:16,850 --> 00:40:19,800
but it seems they are fighting,

606
00:40:19,850 --> 00:40:24,300
I won't say a losing battle,
but it is an uphill struggle.

607
00:40:24,350 --> 00:40:31,200
But drug seizures like the one I've seen tonight
make all their hard work pay off.

608
00:40:33,350 --> 00:40:35,900
It hasn't stopped coming.

609
00:40:38,250 --> 00:40:42,100
￡3,000, another ￡3,000.

610
00:40:42,250 --> 00:40:48,300
It is almost ￡800,000 worth of drugs
for organised crime,

611
00:40:48,350 --> 00:40:51,900
so it is serious.

612
00:40:55,950 --> 00:41:01,500
There is a certain amount of excitement
and silliness in this.

613
00:41:01,550 --> 00:41:07,000
It is ridiculous,
we keep getting more and more drugs out.

614
00:41:07,850 --> 00:41:10,700
But these guys have obviously
done this a few times,

615
00:41:10,750 --> 00:41:13,100
and they are going about their business,
but for me it is staggering.

616
00:41:14,350 --> 00:41:17,000
Now we have found what is in here,

617
00:41:17,050 --> 00:41:20,200
and documented it,
what will happen to it?

618
00:41:20,250 --> 00:41:25,400
We will transport them
to a secure location.

619
00:41:25,450 --> 00:41:29,600
They are safe,
they won't go walkabout.

620
00:41:31,950 --> 00:41:36,000
The criminal and Financial Investigation
colleagues from the UK Border Agency

621
00:41:36,050 --> 00:41:39,900
will take the case, investigate
whether goods were going,

622
00:41:39,950 --> 00:41:41,500
who was meant to be meeting them.

623
00:41:41,550 --> 00:41:43,800
Hopefully they will make some arrests

624
00:41:43,850 --> 00:41:50,300
and it would be good
if we could get a conviction in court
for whoever has brought this stuff in.

625
00:41:51,050 --> 00:41:55,100
In terms of your job,
this would be it tonight, it moves on?

626
00:41:55,150 --> 00:41:57,400
Once we have it secure,

627
00:41:57,450 --> 00:42:02,600
we will move on to the next consignment
and back again tomorrow to start again.

628
00:42:02,650 --> 00:42:06,500
Grinding it out again?
That's right.

629
00:42:07,850 --> 00:42:11,900
The cannabis in the oil drums
had been imported in to the UK from Holland...

630
00:42:11,950 --> 00:42:14,200
But it's not just drugs
which are illegally smuggled in.

631
00:42:14,250 --> 00:42:16,000
People are too.

632
00:42:16,550 --> 00:42:20,700
And some of them to specifically work
in British cannabis factories.

633
00:42:20,750 --> 00:42:24,100
The properties they work in
are often ordinary-looking houses

634
00:42:24,150 --> 00:42:29,300
rented out by organized crime groups
who pay landlords six month's cash up front
for no questions asked.

635
00:42:30,150 --> 00:42:33,200
The gangs may rent out
several properties at a time.

636
00:42:39,050 --> 00:42:44,200
after thermal imaging revealed the properties
to be letting off unusually high levels of heat.

637
00:42:44,250 --> 00:42:51,400
They all came back what was described
as abnormal heat sources,

638
00:42:51,650 --> 00:42:55,800
much more than the one next door,
putting it in simple terms.

639
00:42:57,150 --> 00:43:01,700
It is quite common
to find Vietnamese nationals

640
00:43:01,750 --> 00:43:06,700
within the properties,
certainly this side of Bristol.

641
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:09,700
The family will save up in Vietnam

642
00:43:09,750 --> 00:43:13,900
to pave the someone
to get brought into the country illegally,

643
00:43:13,950 --> 00:43:15,300
more often than not.

644
00:43:15,350 --> 00:43:20,200
And then they will be initiated
into some sort of organised crime Group,

645
00:43:20,250 --> 00:43:23,800
a lot are based in London
and then they are sent to
all parts of the country

646
00:43:23,850 --> 00:43:26,800
to live in houses and
to look after the cannabis plants

647
00:43:26,850 --> 00:43:31,700
and if they can get away
with one or two crops from those houses,

648
00:43:31,750 --> 00:43:34,600
then that money
would last the whole family

649
00:43:35,950 --> 00:43:40,400
for the rest of their lives in Vietnam
if they can have a couple of successful grows.

650
00:43:40,450 --> 00:43:43,200
people working in the factories
are called gardeners

651
00:43:43,250 --> 00:43:48,900
and are often locked into the houses
with the plants

652
00:44:07,450 --> 00:44:11,100
There is lots in there.

653
00:44:13,550 --> 00:44:17,100
This factory has all the hallmarks of a set-up which
is being run by an organized crime group.

654
00:44:17,150 --> 00:44:19,300
If the police can find the gardener

655
00:44:19,350 --> 00:44:24,200
within the property then this might
help them track down the gang
behind the factory.

656
00:44:26,150 --> 00:44:27,300
Hello, mate.

657
00:44:27,350 --> 00:44:31,600
I thought there would be someone somewhere.
But you come.

658
00:44:31,650 --> 00:44:33,800
Do you speak English?

659
00:44:33,850 --> 00:44:35,100
Just a little bit?

660
00:44:35,150 --> 00:44:38,400
What is your name?
What is your name?

661
00:44:40,550 --> 00:44:42,700
I didn't catch that.

662
00:44:42,750 --> 00:44:45,200
Come and sit down over here.

663
00:44:45,250 --> 00:44:48,600
There is nothing to be worried about.

664
00:44:48,650 --> 00:44:51,300
The gardener is confused and frightened,

665
00:44:51,350 --> 00:44:53,200
and speaks almost no English,

666
00:44:53,250 --> 00:44:55,300
so the police will call
an interpreter

667
00:44:55,650 --> 00:44:58,800
We will get in touch with Language,

668
00:45:00,250 --> 00:45:02,200
and somebody can translate for him.

669
00:45:02,250 --> 00:45:07,000
He needs someone to translate for him,
he is a bit concerned at the moment.

670
00:45:09,550 --> 00:45:12,100
All these rooms are converted.

671
00:45:12,150 --> 00:45:14,600
Very similar to the one downstairs.

672
00:45:14,650 --> 00:45:17,900
Probably 70 or 80 plants in there.

673
00:45:20,450 --> 00:45:22,800
This room in here
is obviously like a nursery,

674
00:45:22,850 --> 00:45:26,500
a proper business like set-up.

675
00:45:26,550 --> 00:45:30,400
All that guy does
is look after these plants.

676
00:45:30,450 --> 00:45:31,700
He doesn't do have a thing else.

677
00:45:31,750 --> 00:45:34,200
He trims them, that is what Mrs.

678
00:45:34,250 --> 00:45:37,800
It encourages the head to grow.

679
00:45:37,850 --> 00:45:41,100
Once those plans have been harvested
in those rooms,

680
00:45:41,150 --> 00:45:44,700
these will be spread out amongst the house,
or around the house

681
00:45:44,750 --> 00:45:46,100
for the next crop to come through.

682
00:45:46,150 --> 00:45:50,500
And obviously these in here
are the next batch again.

683
00:45:50,550 --> 00:45:53,400
This probably a hundred plants in there,

684
00:45:53,450 --> 00:45:55,200
and the same in there.

685
00:45:57,550 --> 00:45:59,900
That makes about 300 in this room alone.

686
00:46:00,850 --> 00:46:03,900
The Police estimate
there are about 600 plants in the property

687
00:46:03,950 --> 00:46:07,700
with an estimated street value
of over half a million pounds.

688
00:46:10,050 --> 00:46:13,300
I'm arresting you
for producing cannabis.

689
00:46:23,250 --> 00:46:24,800
We will get your things in a moment.

690
00:46:25,450 --> 00:46:29,300
Do you want some shoes?

691
00:46:29,350 --> 00:46:33,800
Gents, if you can give this chap
some space to get dressed.

692
00:46:34,850 --> 00:46:37,600
This man was charged
with cannabis production,

693
00:46:37,850 --> 00:46:40,600
and could receive a
two-to-three-year jail sentence,

694
00:46:40,650 --> 00:46:42,700
after which he will face deportation.

695
00:46:45,550 --> 00:46:49,700
But it's not just adults
who are smuggled in to work
in cannabis farms.

696
00:46:49,750 --> 00:46:51,200
Children are too.

697
00:46:51,950 --> 00:46:55,100
Some Vietnamese parents
pay traffickers huge sums

698
00:46:55,150 --> 00:46:57,100
to smuggle their children in to the UK,

699
00:46:57,150 --> 00:47:00,100
but on arrival
some fall into the hands of gangs.

700
00:47:00,950 --> 00:47:05,400
Most victims of human trafficking
are too scared to talk
for fear of reprisal,

701
00:47:07,650 --> 00:47:12,600
but I find one Vietnamese teenager
who has agreed to talk to me
in a secret location.

702
00:47:12,650 --> 00:47:14,600
He was trafficked into the UK aged 15

703
00:47:14,650 --> 00:47:18,100
hidden in a lorry
and was then put to work
in a cannabis factory.

704
00:47:19,050 --> 00:47:21,500
and I've asked an interpreter
along to help

705
00:47:21,650 --> 00:47:26,300
What did you think
you were coming here for?

706
00:47:27,850 --> 00:47:29,700
They said that once I got to Britain,

707
00:47:29,750 --> 00:47:31,500
I would work in a nail bar,

708
00:47:31,550 --> 00:47:35,100
but I had to work in a house
growing cannabis plants.

709
00:47:35,150 --> 00:47:41,000
Were you allowed to leave the house?

710
00:47:47,450 --> 00:47:50,700
In the house,
what were the conditions like?

711
00:47:50,750 --> 00:47:53,100
There was only a small TV,

712
00:47:53,150 --> 00:47:55,700
no bed, only a mattress on the floor.

713
00:47:56,650 --> 00:47:59,900
sounds like forced labour,
slave labour.

714
00:48:04,950 --> 00:48:07,600
After suffering hardships
before I got to Britain,

715
00:48:07,650 --> 00:48:11,600
having a place to sleep
and food to eat was luxury.

716
00:48:12,550 --> 00:48:14,900
I think that is the saddest thing of all.

717
00:48:15,650 --> 00:48:21,900
The fact that you are pleased
to be in Britain illegally,

718
00:48:21,950 --> 00:48:26,000
restrained and kept in a house,
I think that is sad.

719
00:48:26,050 --> 00:48:28,300
It shouldn't have happened.

720
00:48:28,450 --> 00:48:30,000
After being released by the police

721
00:48:30,050 --> 00:48:33,600
this young man was taken in
and cared for by a foster family,

722
00:48:33,650 --> 00:48:36,700
and he's now living alone
in rented accommodation.

723
00:48:36,750 --> 00:48:42,100
You are 18 now,
trying to make a life for yourself here.

724
00:48:43,150 --> 00:48:46,400
Do not miss your family?

725
00:48:46,450 --> 00:48:51,500
At home,
I only have a mother and one sister.

726
00:48:51,550 --> 00:48:54,600
After leaving Vietnam,
I lost contact with them.

727
00:48:54,850 --> 00:48:58,900
I have recently found out
that they went to Saigon
to look for work,

728
00:48:58,950 --> 00:49:01,500
but don't know where they are,
and I miss them.

729
00:49:01,550 --> 00:49:02,800
I would like to find them,

730
00:49:02,850 --> 00:49:04,700
but I'm not allowed back to Vietnam.

731
00:49:06,550 --> 00:49:08,300
During the making of this programme,

732
00:49:08,350 --> 00:49:11,400
I've met teenagers affected
by the supply of cannabis,

733
00:49:11,650 --> 00:49:15,700
but I never expected someone
from halfway across the globe
to be one too.

734
00:49:15,750 --> 00:49:21,000
Like most people in this country,
my age, 25, you think,

735
00:49:21,050 --> 00:49:28,500
what is the harm of picking up a spliffs?

736
00:49:28,550 --> 00:49:32,000
If you don't do it too much,
you won't get any harmful effects.

737
00:49:32,050 --> 00:49:34,700
But it never really occurred to me,

738
00:49:34,750 --> 00:49:38,800
and I'm sure it doesn't occur
to many people out there that

739
00:49:39,250 --> 00:49:41,600
when you buy that we'd,
it is funding something.

740
00:49:41,650 --> 00:49:45,900
And more often than not,
it is funding organised crime.

741
00:49:45,950 --> 00:49:50,100
And quite a portion
of that organised crime

742
00:49:50,150 --> 00:49:53,700
is forcing people like that guy
I just met

743
00:49:53,750 --> 00:49:57,100
to sit in a house for weeks
if not months on end

744
00:49:57,150 --> 00:50:01,900
with no sunlight
and no bed in this case,

745
00:50:01,950 --> 00:50:05,800
and that is a terrible thing to consider,
I think.

746
00:50:05,850 --> 00:50:08,600
It makes you look at cannabis
in a different light.

747
00:50:11,550 --> 00:50:13,500
Back in Bristol the drug squad are on route

748
00:50:13,550 --> 00:50:16,800
to what they believe could be another
Vietnamese-run cannabis factory.

749
00:50:17,750 --> 00:50:21,200
Vietnamese gangs arrived in the UK
at the beginning of the last decade,

750
00:50:21,250 --> 00:50:25,100
and have slowly worked their way
into most major cities in the UK.

751
00:50:25,150 --> 00:50:30,300
Their business model involves
turning a network of ordinary suburban homes
into weed farms

752
00:50:30,350 --> 00:50:34,700
They enjoyed an enormous success
with this in Canada
before moving to Britain

753
00:50:34,750 --> 00:50:37,300
According to police statistics
for much of the last decade,

754
00:50:37,350 --> 00:50:42,900
60% of UK cannabis farms were run
by Cietnamese criminal gangs

755
00:50:48,750 --> 00:50:50,300
Police officer !

756
00:50:50,350 --> 00:50:53,300
he is in here somewhere.
I saw him at the window.

757
00:50:54,450 --> 00:50:58,000
The police are convinced the cannabis gardener
is inside the house.

758
00:50:58,050 --> 00:51:00,800
In these situations the gardeners
are often desperate not to be found

759
00:51:00,850 --> 00:51:03,700
as they face prison
and then deportation.

760
00:51:03,950 --> 00:51:05,900
Once they've been deported

761
00:51:05,950 --> 00:51:09,700
the gang they worked for will usually find them
to pay back their loss in earnings.

762
00:51:10,750 --> 00:51:14,200
We have another Vietnamese
cannabis factory,

763
00:51:14,250 --> 00:51:18,900
and there is a man in here somewhere,

764
00:51:19,750 --> 00:51:22,400
but we can't find him.

765
00:51:23,350 --> 00:51:25,900
It looks like
there are holes and the floor,

766
00:51:25,950 --> 00:51:27,600
so he has either up and the loft,
or down there.

767
00:51:27,650 --> 00:51:31,400
Our concern now is for his welfare.

768
00:51:31,450 --> 00:51:36,400
He could end up suffocating
if he is in one of these holes.

769
00:51:37,850 --> 00:51:42,700
After 45 minutes
the police finally find the gardener
hiding in the attic

770
00:51:58,250 --> 00:52:02,200
This Vietnamese man
will have his fate decided in a court of law.

771
00:52:02,250 --> 00:52:04,100
But others aren't so lucky.

772
00:52:04,350 --> 00:52:10,600
In 2006
Tran Nyugen was working as a cannabis farmer
in a factory in Newport in South Wales

773
00:52:10,650 --> 00:52:13,800
and ended up paying
the ultimate price.

774
00:52:13,950 --> 00:52:18,800
One night he was tending the crop
in this factory.

775
00:52:18,850 --> 00:52:22,600
A gang broke in, tied him up,

776
00:52:22,650 --> 00:52:24,600
and the crop was stolen.

777
00:52:24,650 --> 00:52:28,400
It was a rival gang,
they took a crop worth ￡40,000.

778
00:52:29,650 --> 00:52:32,000
The Organized Crime Group
Tran worked for

779
00:52:32,050 --> 00:52:34,900
didn't believe his crop
had been stolen by another gang.

780
00:52:35,850 --> 00:52:40,600
He was tortured by the crime gang
and its leader,

781
00:52:40,650 --> 00:52:49,800
and they even got his wife on the phone
and made a ransom demand of ￡40,000.

782
00:52:49,850 --> 00:52:55,800
His wife could hear him being beaten
and literally pleading for his life,

783
00:52:55,850 --> 00:52:59,200
and there was nothing she could do.

784
00:53:01,350 --> 00:53:06,100
Two men carried a battered Tran
into the entrance of the Royal Gwent hospital.

785
00:53:06,750 --> 00:53:09,200
He died shortly after from his injuries.

786
00:53:10,650 --> 00:53:15,500
His death led to unearthing
38 cannabis factories,

787
00:53:16,450 --> 00:53:21,100
and this is just a small example
of what we recovered.

788
00:53:21,150 --> 00:53:24,700
Tran's death turned into Gwent police's
largest ever investigation.

789
00:53:24,750 --> 00:53:28,800
310 officers were involved in finding production equipment
and cannabis farms,

790
00:53:28,850 --> 00:53:33,600
breaking up an organized crime group
turning over ￡6 million a year.

791
00:53:33,650 --> 00:53:40,100
It is incredible to think that as a result
of his arrival at the hospital,

792
00:53:40,150 --> 00:53:43,500
it led to all this equipment,

793
00:53:43,550 --> 00:53:46,100
the UN a thing of 38 cannabis factories,

794
00:53:46,150 --> 00:53:47,200
but more importantly,

795
00:53:47,750 --> 00:53:52,700
finding on organised crime group
that had spread across the UK into France,

796
00:53:52,750 --> 00:53:57,700
Germany, Berlin, the Czech Republic
and across into Vietnam itself.

797
00:53:57,850 --> 00:54:03,500
We in Newport knew very little
about the Vietnamese community
prior to this case.

798
00:54:03,550 --> 00:54:06,900
But we also realised that right across the UK,

799
00:54:06,950 --> 00:54:13,000
there were probably other victims
of this type of attack, torture, beatings,

800
00:54:13,050 --> 00:54:17,900
because of the fact that
most of these people
are illegal immigrants.

801
00:54:17,950 --> 00:54:20,300
It is never coming out into the open.

802
00:54:20,750 --> 00:54:23,300
Operation Viscount is still on going.

803
00:54:23,350 --> 00:54:29,500
In the first three months,
the police have seized over 4,000 plants.

804
00:54:29,850 --> 00:54:35,000
The Avon and Somerset force
put a high priority team
fighting the supply of cannabis.

805
00:54:36,050 --> 00:54:40,100
I'm going to meet their Head
of Drugs Strategy to find out why.

806
00:54:40,150 --> 00:54:43,900
I have come to talk about organised crime.

807
00:54:43,950 --> 00:54:47,200
We know it is linked
to Vietnamese gangs.

808
00:54:47,250 --> 00:55:00,100
Organised crime is very heavily involved in cannabis creation.

809
00:55:00,150 --> 00:55:05,500
With an organised crime,
the Vietnamese and Chinese
are very much represented.

810
00:55:05,550 --> 00:55:11,400
However, now that all the other organised
crime groups in the UK have realised
how much money is involved,

811
00:55:11,450 --> 00:55:13,200
they are heavily involved.

812
00:55:13,250 --> 00:55:15,800
So use a British gangs
are involved as well.

813
00:55:15,850 --> 00:55:19,000
Are you talking about the serious ones,

814
00:55:19,050 --> 00:55:26,600
the same people that
supply cocaine and heroin.

815
00:55:27,450 --> 00:55:31,800
There is all the violence that goes with it,
gun crime, kidnap, murder.

816
00:55:32,750 --> 00:55:38,100
The main fund would appear to be
cannabis cultivation.

817
00:55:38,150 --> 00:55:44,100
Ates lower risk to grow cannabis
than to import cocaine or heroin.

818
00:55:44,150 --> 00:55:48,100
So that ￡20 back of cannabis
somebody might buy

819
00:55:48,150 --> 00:55:52,600
is going into the pocket of people
who use a gun crime and murder and kidnap?

820
00:55:52,650 --> 00:55:58,500
Yes, and I know people look at cannabis
thinking it is just cannabis,

821
00:55:58,550 --> 00:56:02,000
but it is another legal drug,

822
00:56:02,050 --> 00:56:05,900
which this type of person
makes an awful lot of money through.

823
00:56:07,450 --> 00:56:10,200
I've seen the harm
that cannabis causes
for my own eyes.

824
00:56:11,050 --> 00:56:14,000
I never thought I'd end up meeting a victim
of human trafficking

825
00:56:14,050 --> 00:56:16,500
or meet young people
who say they were addicted

826
00:56:16,850 --> 00:56:22,100
But all the time cannabis remains
an illegal drug that
over 2 million people want to use

827
00:56:22,650 --> 00:56:28,400
There will always be violent organized 
crime groups wanting to exploit this demand
