UK: Three face charges over 'Canna-Biz' bars
Cambridge Evening News
Monday 04 Dec 2006 THREE people are to go on trial today (Monday, 04 December) for allegedly supplying chocolate bars laced with cannabis to help relieve the pain of multiple sclerosis sufferers. Marcus Davies, 36, from St Ives, is charged along with gift shop manager Mark Gibson, 42, and his wife Lezley, 42, who has MS, both from Alston, Cumbria. All three face two charges each of conspiring together to supply cannabis. All three deny the charges. It is alleged they supplied homemade "Canna-Biz" bars by post to patients with multiple sclerosis, a progressive crippling illness that can produce intense pain. Supplying cannabis, even for medicinal purposes, without proper authority is a criminal offence. They were arrested in February 2005. The maximum penalty is 14 years in jail for supplying a class C drug. The defendants are members of the organisation Therapeutic Help from Cannabis for Multiple Sclerosis. The trial, at Carlisle Crown Court, is scheduled to last seven days. http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/huntingdon/2006/12/04/c564788a-75a2-45d8-a340-c75d25ab0a85.lpf -- Please sign these petitions: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/search?q=Cannabis+ WebBooks Amazing Amazon Store: http://astore.amazon.co.uk/webbooks05
