A pioneering legal cannabis company is producing huge bumper crops of weed by fertilising it with fish poo.

Here in benighted Britain, marijuanana is illegal meaning growers douse their ganja in chemicals so it grows quickly and abundantly.

In Canada, weed is now legal and clever people are already thinking of how to make their crops bigger, better and more environmentally-friendly.

Now a firm called Green Relief has decided the best way to do this is scoop up a load of fishy turds and use them to fertilise herbs.

The result is pesticide-free, medical grade sea-weed which is much healthier than the stuff people smoked before Canada made cannabis legal in 2018.



‘This is the agriculture of the future,’ founder Warren Bravo told CBC.

‘If you’re not latching on to sustainable agriculture technologies now, you’re going to be a dinosaur.’

The fishy method uses 90% less water than traditional methods of growing weed, whilst generating up to 20% more cannabis.

Both the fish and the weed live in tanks buried deep under a hillside.

First, the fish all poo their hearts out, before the resulting effluence is then filtered and used to fertilise the plants.

In turn, the cannabis plants filter the water for this fish.

‘Canada’s in a very fortunate position right now,’ Bravo added ‘We get to take the lead in a brand new industry.’
