UK Cops Hand Out Scratch-and-Sniff Marijuana Cards
Douglas Capraro
The scented cards are part of an initiative to encourage members of the public in Northern Ireland to identify and report marijuana grow houses
In a new strategy to combat rising numbers of marijuana grow operations, police in Northern Ireland are distributing “scratch-and-sniff” cards in an effort to help the public recognize the scent of weed.
If you think, “duh!” well, it might not be as easy as you suspect. Even people who recognize the smell of pot when it’s smoked might not be familiar with the scent of it being grown, which is apparently very different. This is the scent that the cards replicate.
“The new cards will enable members of the community to help tackle the drug problem in our society, by identifying criminal activity either near their own homes or in the areas where they work,” says Justice Minister David Ford, optimistically. ”The distinctive smell is a tell-tale sign which the public should report.”
