This is Stafford. The 'authorities' couldn't give afuck. If they're quite happy to let youths ruin the town's flagship event and let the whole place stink of weed, then do you really think they're going to do anything about some shit-hole allegedly growing the stuff upstairs in the town centre?
PC plod is much too busy monitoring the internet in case someone gets upset to stop eating his doughnuts, get off his fat arse and actually do something meaningful.

Does The Bed Factory open during the day? If so, what are the opening hours and how are the quality of the beds?

it's never open.
It either just a front for a grow house (like the previous occupier) or it's used for storage as a tax dodge.

Those complaining here, have you actually contacted the council or the police with your concerns?

Storage for a tax dodge wouldn’t really make sense… why setup an entirely different business just to get small rate relief on a far too expensive high street property, when you could get a storage unit instead?

All included as a contribution to the quarterly GDP figures.

The landlord put a notice in the window saying he had informed the police it was being used as a cannabis factory, and they're refused to chase it up and he expected an apology from the head of the west midlands police or something.

A bit like the nation, if it's inhabitants shrug and say it'snot an issue, people will embrace it and move forth at speed!
Anti social behaviour - "They ain't my kids!"
The weed monopoly - "We should legalise it cos I like it!"
Even privatisation of various local services - "I'll protest against it and then vote for it!"
Take some ownership for what effects us all and it won;t be there by the time it hits you!

For the record, I have never consumed weed in any form (despite what many used to think when I had dreadlocks!), but the UK is quite behind in how it regards marijuana, legally speaking. It's medicinal benefits are well known and if America of all places has stormed ahead of us on that front then we have to ask ourselves some serious questions.
I just thought that this wasn't a very accurate portrayal of that argument.

Indeed, and it’s odd too… the drugs minister from way back when (what, like 12 months ago?) whose husband ran a Medical Marijuana company would actually benefit massively from it being available over here if you needed a license to distribute it
It was originally made illegal in the US for race reasons - it gave them an excuse to arrest people that weren’t a colour they didn’t like. I suspect they see it as good excuse to arrest “the poors” now

The UK is the world's leading exporter of legally-grown cannabis.
When you look at the progressive wave of the ban through the British Empire, it's possible to come away with the impression that maintaining the effectiveness of the workforce might have been a guiding principle.
Were cannabis products not available, with difficulty, on prescription in the UK, into the late 60s, even early 70s?
I did a job for the Wildlife Trust in the middle of nowhere, off towards Burton. We needed to remake a water pipe connection in the middle of a field. It was the 'old-style' 'iron' threaded pipe, into a cast connector. It needed some fibre to seal the thread, but we had none. A journey into Burton led to the Trust's representative buying a load and then having to present a receipt for 'hemp' when we got back to base.
And, of course, if you don't want to get caught growing them at your abode, put them out in the sunshine, somewhere nice, like a roundabout on the Rugeley by-pass.
