UK: Mum in plea to drug court
News and Star
Wednesday 03 Jan 2007 HE mother of cannabis campaigner Lezley Gibson has pleaded with the judge preparing to sentence her daughter to be lenient, saying: “She was just trying to help people.” Liz Nicholls, 63, spoke of the stress of seeing her seriously-ill daughter give evidence in court before being convicted last month of conspiring to supply the class C drug. She has called on the government to change the laws surrounding cannabis and for pharmaceutical companies to do more detailed research into the drug’s medical uses. Mrs Gibson, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, and her husband Mark produced more than 20,000 Canna-Biz chocolate bars at their Alston home and sent them to others with the condition. The couple, both 42, and 38-year-old Marcus Davies, of Cambridgeshire, will all be sentenced by Judge John Phillips at Carlisle Crown Court on January 26. But Mrs Nicholls, who said her daughter was just using her own experience with the drug and made the bars to help alleviate the suffering of others, pleaded for Judge Phillips to be lenient. She said: “They did not set out to make money.” http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/viewarticle.aspx?id=450698
