Poland has become one of the biggest producers of marijuana in Europe – claims the weekly Przekroj. Last year, 860 kilograms of the narcotic drug were seized by the police, twice as much as in 2008 and four times more than in 2005. Several dozen illegal plantations were liquidated last year. http://www.thenews.pl/business/artykul136052_poland-a-top-pot-producer .html

That is surprising. Are those indoor or outdoor operations? They call them plantations, which would indicate fields, then 'under one roof' would indicate indoor. My grandma used to grow konopie, for rope. LOL At the and plk123 post, google put an add for marijuana rehab!

Why is it that any time a superlative appears in relation to Poland it is a cause for celebration? Without regard to what that superlative is actually referring to. Is it really important that poland is the biggest producer of pot? In fact, it tells me sth about the people.

Some of the absurd claims Ive heard since I've been here:
Gdynia has THE BEST aquarium in Europe - Wrong, its crap
Sopopt prokom trefl are THE BEST basketball team in the world - Wrong

And the ones which are true such as the molo in Sopot being THE LONGEST in Europe, are nothing to really brag about.

So u suggest its false or its not important?

Btw. nice to meet a welshguy on polish forum at last! I was always wondering why there are so many Scots, Irish, English here... but not even a bit of Welsh! Where the all Welsh ppl have been? ;)

I think the Netherlands and Spain are the two sole top producers of marijuana in Europe. They produce thousands of kilos of (legal/illegal) pot. For the ones who have trouble with maryjane, here's a link: http://www.drugpolicy.org/marijuana/factsmyths/ >^..^< M-G (yay!)

I am suggesting that its false of course. Most people in the world understand that the Americans are the greatest basketball players in the world, but htere are some in this country who still insist that sopot prokom can beat any american team.

As for the aquarium thing, on my very first visit to poland everyone was telling me that i just had to see gdynia aquarium as it is one of the best in Europe if not thwe world. Bear in mind that i come form a country of sea life centres etc. So I went and it was one of the worst aquariums ive ever seen

Never heard about Gdynia's aquarium. I found out about this place by accident this year when I was passing near by but I didnt go inside because the tickets were in the price of pizza and I was hungry. ;)
