All goods related to hemp cultivation were seized at the grow shop. This includes: lamps, carbon filters, growing trays, and nutrients. Goods are sold from a grow shop to enable illegal hemp cultivation. Thus, money is made from illegal hemp cultivation. Therefore, grow shops that focus on cannabis are prohibited.

At the hemp nursery, all 275 plants were seized and destroyed, along with all equipment. The quantity combined with the equipment suggests that it is a professional hemp nursery. Electricity and water were stolen for the nursery. Everything is safely secured. Stealing electricity can cause short circuits or overheating, which can lead to fire. It also attracts people who may have criminal plans. You do not want that near your staff, business, or customers.
