Britain’s biggest high street book seller is stocking guides on how to grow cannabis – which includes practical advice such as how to dodge the police.

A petition campaigning for the legalisation of cannabis in Britain already has nearly half of the signatures needed to trigger a serious government discussion on the issue.
