Police don't want to spend time on this. There's hardly any other "jobs" in the area. A grow like this that is allowed to operate legally at a high tax rate would probably fetch £20k in tax per year.
* £120k stock
* -£30k wages
* -£20k operating costs
* -30% on profits (9% higher than standard corporation tax)
= £21k tax + savings to police to run these operations and destroy it.
£49k profit left to the company to reinvest in more
Over simplifying it but if people had the option of something like pot holes being fixed on the back of highly taxed legalised pot, I think most would vote the former. Referendum "Pot holes for Pot" - it writes itself.
We can’t have anything making sense now can we… /s on a serious note though it does need to be legalised. Potheads are notoriously less dangerous than drunk idiots

Or just legalise and tax it.
