Taxi company sought to run City cab on cannabis fuel
Norwich Advertiser
Thursday 20 May 2004 The Legalise Cannabis Alliance party has come up with a radical proposal that they believe will 'clear the air' in Norwich. The party want to attract a local taxi company that would be willing to allow a simple conversion of one of it's cabs - to run on fuel made from locally grown cannabis. The cab would be used to provide free transport to and from hospital for those in need to cannot be taken by ambulance. The expenses and wages, they propose, would be met through sponsorship through other local businesses. Alun Buffry, candidate for the University ward, said: "Our idea is to bring together a local taxi company and other businesses to help people in need to get to the hospitals and back, and to demonstrate the feasibility of using locally-produced biofuels from hemp for local public transport. "The bonus is that burning the fuel will not cause pollution. "In one small step, we can clean the air, boost agriculture and employment, and ease the burden on the sick and infirm. All it takes is the recognition of the usefulness of the cannabis plant and some co-operation from local business people. And of course to somehow get round the remains of "Reefer Madness" fears about hemp." The LCA is contesting all 13 seats in the local council elections in Norwich on June 10th.
