A Spanish village has voted to rent out land to grow marijuana as a source of desperately needed revenue.

Rasquera, a hamlet of 900 in Catalonia, said its councillors approved the plan by a 4-3 vote, despite the fact that it is not legal.

Councillors took the decision because of the high unemployment, which stands at over 20 per cent.
