UK: User grew cannabis plants in Cleethorpes house 'to save him money' Trusted article source icon

Grimsby Telegraph

Tuesday 24 Jul 2012

POLICE found a cannabis factory which could have produced drugs worth more than £10,000, Grimsby Crown Court heard.

Flynn Stokes, 40, of Neville Street, Cleethorpes, admitted producing cannabis plants on December 31.

Phillip Evans, prosecuting, said police investigating a domestic matter called at the premises and discovered a cannabis factory in one of the bedrooms.

There was plastic sheeting, lighting and 30 cannabis plants, with an estimated yield of 1.2kg and a street value of between £6,852 and £10,284.

Simon Hirst, mitigating, said Stokes spent about £600 setting up the cannabis factory but claimed that it would have saved him "several thousand pounds" in the long run because there would have been about a year's supply.

He denied he would have supplied cannabis to others to make more money.

Stokes told the court: "I have been using cannabis for about 25 years as a recreational drug.

"I grew my own because I didn't like the places I had to pick it up from. I was going to box it up and put it away for me. It would have lasted me a year.

"I just followed the instructions off the internet. It was to save me money, not to make money out of it."

Stokes was given a 32-week suspended prison sentence and 240 hours' unpaid work.
