The Increasing Popularity Of Indoor Marijuana Cultivation
Marijuana is the most abused illegal drug in the world
, so its no surprise that suppliers, dealers, and users have begun growing it indoors where their operations are safer from the eyes of law enforcement. In every part of the United States, police departments are reporting large increases in the numbers of indoor cannabis operations. Confirming these claims, news stations frequently feature stories about entire apartments, houses, and even large estates being used for high volumes of marijuana growth. Unfortunately, the reasons that so many growers are moving indoors are the same reasons why marijuana is such a dangerous drug.
Researchers have stated that one of the main reasons cannabis growers are moving indoors is the constant pressure of law enforcement on outdoor operations. The past few years have seen unprecedented anti-marijuana efforts from police departments across the country. These departments have shared records and combined resources to stage enormous campaigns against people who use public lands to grow cannabis. Because of frequent busts and raids over the last decade, many growers have moved operations indoors.
Indoor operations also allow dealers and suppliers greater control over their growing environments, enabling them to manipulate conditions to produce the highest yields possible. Centrally-heated indoor environments also eliminate the issue of seasonality and allow growers to produce the drug year-round. Finally, being able to exercise such a high degree of control over growing conditions allows sellers to produce as potent a product as possible. All of these factors result in higher profits for marijuana growers.
The rise in marijuana potency is a particularly troubling aspect of indoor growing operations. According to research conducted at the University of Mississippi, the average concentration of Tetrahydrocannabinol (or THC, the hallucinogenic substance in marijuana leaves) has grown steadily over the last thirty years and will continue to do so for years to come. In the last two decades, in particular, the rise in potency levels has led to an alarming increase in cases of dependency in users.
A study by the United States Department of Justice suggests that this trend will continue. It states that from 2004 to 2008, the number of cannabis plants confiscated from public property rose by more than two million. Since drug raids on public land are what drive so many growers indoors, it is likely that such an increase will be met with a correspondingly large rise in the number of indoor growth operations.
Overall, the potency of modern marijuana plants is extremely concerning. Cannabis use was already problem in the sixties and seventies, and it is even more so an issue today.
