Border Force seized 47 tons of herbal cannabis last year - more than the previous three years combined.

The National Crime Agency said large marijuana blocks smuggled in from the US, Canada and Thailand are re-packaged as a "higher quality" Californiangrown product and sold at a premium.

Our probe found US cannabis packets littering London streets and there are signs big US sellers are targeting the UK.

Last weekend, hundreds openly smoked the drug at a secret, ticketed event in London resembling a trade fair.
