Loophole allows head shops to sell cannabis ‘grow kits’
A number of so-called head shops have begun selling equipment that can be used to cultivate cannabis plants – and thanks to a loophole in recently introduced legislation they cannot be prosecuted for the practice.
Some head shop outlets have rebranded themselves as “grow shops” and are selling the specialised lighting, insulation, extractor fan and irrigation systems needed to grow crops of plants. They are also selling cannabis seeds. The seeds are not banned here because they do not contain THC, the main component in cannabis.
