Queen given marijuana bouquet

A PUBLICITY stunt in which the Queen unwittingly accepted a "bouquet"
of marijuana was being investigated by police last night .

The Queen was presented with the plant as she attended the opening of
The Lowry arts complex in Salford, Greater Manchester, on Thursday. It
was handed to her by Colin Davies, 43, a member of the campaign to
legalise marijuana for medicinal purposes.

Mr Davies, founder of the Medical Marijuana Co-operative, which
supplies cannabis to sufferers of cancer and multiple sclerosis, said
yesterday: "The Queen's eyes lit up when she saw the pale yellow
blooms. She gave the plant to a chauffeur who put it in the back of
the car. I grew the plant myself and this was a harmless way of
bringing to the Queen's attention the ludicrous restrictions on
cannabis."

The Prince of Wales is considering a walk-on part in a real soap opera
later this year when he visits the Manchester set of Coronation
Street, which celebrates its 40th birthday in December. He will meet
the cast at Granada studios and may be given a brief role in the
episode in production at the time of his visit.
