Slaves are chained up and fed dog food in secret UK ‘blood cannabis’ farm
IT’S seen as a ‘soft’ drug, without the links to underworld gangs and brutal violence that cocaine and heroin have.
But a Sun Online investigation can reveal that behind Britain’s cannabis trade lies a dark and shocking reality, in which around 3,000 slave children are cultivating crops in dire conditions.

The Essex lorry deaths, in which 39 Vietnamese people died being trafficked into Britain in October, showed the dangers of faced by those being illegally brought into the UK
And most of those kids are Vietnamese teenage boys who have been ripped from their families by traffickers, who smuggle them into the UK and force them to work in secret drug dens in houses all over Britain.
Once here, many endure horrific conditions, beatings and sexual abuse at the hands of gang masters.
Children as young as 11 are forced to survive on scraps as they tend cannabis farms, and one man was even reduced to eating dog food to stay alive while he grew weed for gangs.
Their suffering has led anti-slavery campaigners to coin the phrase ‘blood cannabis’, to reflect the true horror behind some of Britain’s £2.6bn-a-year illegal weed market, which sees an estimated 255 tonnes of weed smoked annually in the UK.
The National Crime Agency says 96 per cent of trafficking victims forced to grow weed in Britain are Vietnamese, and 81 per cent of those are children.
Many of them are dangerously smuggled into the UK in lorries — the death of 39 Vietnamese people, including 10 teenagers, in Essex in October highlighted the lethal peril of such journeys.
