The investigation made it possible to identify a supplier in the Puy-de-Dôme who would have sold 400 plants of Italian origin to the various brands.
Plants already sold found
"It is a wholesaler in contact with an importer, who supplied his usual customers", explained a gendarme of the company of Riom.
The case could be explained by “a lack of knowledge linked to the legislative context.
Some people think that cannabis is legalized, while it remains a dangerous drug ”, indicated the soldier.
A few small mali… customers who had already bought plants could be found.
Some of the plants are being analyzed to determine "the exact nature of the variety seized and in particular to quantify the presence of THC", an active molecule in cannabis.
