BUT, not all right, to use cannabis to improve your quality of life. Why in the name of law and order are sick people like Biz who are suffering serious conditions that can be eased by the magic of the cannabis hemp plant, being criminalised? Editors notes: The House of Lords, the British Medical Association, a number of MP's and a massive majority of the public around the world are oppose the prosecution of people like Biz who use cannabis out of extreme medical necessity. And, several juries have already returned not guilty verdicts in similar cases: see http://www.ccguide.org.uk/no-guilt.html I would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes out of you busiest day to cover this.
