A couple growing three weed plants last February, for instance, were having dinner together when a helicopter flew overhead, spraying chemicals onto their three weed plants that they used for medical reasons. Both leaders and residents are fed up with the waste of resources as the country races toward cannabis reform. Legalization backer and Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick said spraying cannabis plants from helicopters isn’t the way to solve this. A police spokesperson claimed the spray used only affects plants and has no major impact on the soil. There must be better ways of mitigating illegal cannabis crops without spraying chemicals on them.
