UK: Man gave up UKP60k job to develop cannabis cream

A MAN gave up his ukp60,000 a-year IT job to develop a cannabis cream as
pain relief for his suffering mother.

Stephen Renton, 38, was growing more than 770 plants, worth a potential
street value of ukp77,000, in the attic of his Midlothian flat.

Firefighters discovered the crop, the largest ever in the Lothian and
Borders area, when a blaze caused by an electrical fault broke out.

The High Court in Edinburgh heard yesterday that Renton's mother Sheila had
suffered from chronic nerve end damage for ten years.

Renton, who suffers from chronic joint pain, carried out trials, mixing
extracts of the drug into juices, oil and alcohol and tried to create
creams and lotions. He grew between 15 and 20 different species of the
plant at his home in Eighth Street, Newtongrange.

Renton pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of and producing
cannabis between May 2002 and May 2004. Sentence was deferred for
background reports.
