MORE - council appeals for people to report cannabis smellThe whacky-baccy whiff is believed to come from Wissington, where a medicinal strain of cannabis has just been harvested.
Now West Norfolk council says it too has received similar reports of the smell.
'Officers have met with senior managers from British Sugar on the Wissington site,' it said.
'No specific sources of odour were identified on site, but the council, British Sugar and their specialists, have committed to work together over the growing and drying cycle of the crop to determine if these odours are linked to the site.
'In addition the council is investigating any other potential sources of the odour and has contacted the NFU for assistance in this investigation.'
