The Koffeshop Crew Press Release
Sunday 10 Aug 2003 After a year of trading we have decided to close 'Buddies' koffeeshop. The week of police 'siege' proved that the police have finally won the war. It took them a year; we at the koffeeshop have a social conscience we cannot allow the limited resources that the police have, to be wasted on policing the koffeeshop. They would be better served looking after the rising crime rate here in Worthing. Our action in opening the two koffeeshops was to prove that there was a need for such establishments, and a social meeting place that is alcohol free, and free from violence. To the people of East Worthing we would like to apologise for the traffic congestion and any other inconveniences caused. We would like to point out that the area was derelict and run down. We, as you know, did our best to 'pretty' the area up. We are not bad people, all the profits from the venture went to the sick and disabled, we have made no personal profit or gain by running the koffeeshop. We are a politically motivated group of disabled people who are fighting for the right to consume cannabis medically and for those who prefer cannabis to the government sponsored drugs. Would you please bear in mind, Alcohol kills 28/33,000 people every year. Tobacco kills 120,000 people a year. Cannabis deaths? NONE. The Koffeshop Crew
