UK: Cannabis picnic in Southsea criticised

BBC News

Friday 12 Sep 2014

A health official has warned people to "steer well clear" of a "cannabis picnic" in Portsmouth.

The picnic on Saturday has been organised by Hampshire Cannabis Community.

The group, which believes the class B drug should be legalised, said many people were unaware it can be used for medicinal purposes.

Dr Janet Maxwell, director of public health for Portsmouth City Council, encouraged people not to go.

Police have warned they will not tolerate the use of illegal drugs at the event in Castle Field, Southsea.

But Simon Dignam, from Hampshire Cannabis Community said: "I can't say people will or won't smoke. If they do it's not up to me to say no."

The picnic will feature information stalls and speakers including MS-sufferer Clark French. He founded United Patients Alliance, which aims to advance legal access to cannabis for therapeutic use.
