UK: Man grew cannabis as it was too expensive to buy
South Wales Guardian Sunday 14 Nov 2010 Cerith Thomas, of 71 Arfryn Estate, admitted he was growing four cannabis plants at his home when police raided the property on October 12. Ammanford magistrates were told how officers had been at the estate on a separate incident when they visited Thomas' property. The officers immediately noted a strong smell of cannabis coming from inside. A search of the property uncovered four mature cannabis plants hidden in the airing cupboard along with various leaves and buds being dried. Ammanford magistrates were told that Thomas had been arrested on similar charges in 2005. Andrew Isaacs, defending, told the court that Thomas used cannabis in a bid to tackle his heroin problems. "Rather than go back on heroin, he uses cannabis to wean himself off drugs slowly but surely," he said. Mr Isaacs claimed that Thomas was growing the plants because he could not afford to buy the cannabis ready to smoke. "He leads a rather sad existence," said Mr Isaacs. Magistrates find Thomas £150. He was also ordered to pay £85 court costs and a further £15 legal surcharge. http://www.southwalesguardian.co.uk/news/8625779.Man_grew_cannabis_as_it_was_too_expensive_to_buy/
