John Banks Price, 81, ran a cannabis cultivation scheme on his Bay of Plenty property which was shut down by police. John Banks Price is 81 and has just been busted for a large cannabis growing operation at his home in Tauranga. He wanted to sell the cannabis after Christmas, when the price would be high, to fund an operation on his back. Tony Wall/Stuff.co.nz Price grew his crop in the shed, after his wife banned him from cultivating it in the ceiling of their house. Price, born and raised in Tauranga and from an “upper-middle-class family”, says he struggled as a child because of dyslexia.
