A man has been found not guilty of drug trafficking despite growing the plants in his home in Cantabria

The judge in Penal Court 3 in Santander has found a man accused of drug trafficking and found with 70 marijuana plants growing in his house, at Mijares, Cantabria not guilty.

The accused said the plants were for personal use, he smoked 20 cigarettes of ‘maría’ every day, and the court considered the police had failed to prove that he had sold drugs to others.

The court heard the police found sophisticated equipment to grow the plants, such as drying lamps, ventilators, dehumidifiers, thermostats and so on, but equipment such as precision scales needed to prepare the drug for sale was not found.
