Britain's first Amsterdam-style cafe selling cannabis
is due to open.

The Dutch Experience, based in the centre of Stockport,
Greater Manchester, is being opened by its manager Colin
Davies.

Police have warned that they will shut the business down
if it is found to be breaking the law.

Mr Davies, a multiple sclerosis sufferer who lives in
Stockport, achieved notoriety last year when he was
pictured offering the Queen a bouquet containing cannabis
plants.

The Queen was pictured outside the Lowry Arts Centre in
Trafford, Greater Manchester, when she unwittingly took
possession of the illegal substance from Mr Davies,
founder of the Medical Marijuana Co-operative.

Mr Davies said at the time: "It was a harmless way of
trying to bring to the notice of Her Majesty the ludicrous
restrictions on cannabis.

"We set up the co-operative to supply sick people who
benefit from the therapeutic value of cannabis."
