A warning has been issued after 'dangerous' levels of mould, yeast, E.coli and salmonella was found in UK street cannabis. Researchers from Manchester Metropolitan University and Curaleaf Clinic have worked together to analyse 60 samples seized by police in Greater Manchester and Northumbria.
In the study, 90 per cent of what was tested was contaminated with either mould and yeast, eight per cent with lead, and two per cent with salmonella and E.coli.
