UK: Twelve arrested at cafe run by cannabis campaigner
Nigel Bunyan The Telegraph
Wednesday 21 Nov 2001 TWELVE people were arrested yesterday when police raided the Dutch-style cafe run by a prominent pro-cannabis campaigner. Colin Davies, owner of the Dutch Experience in Stockport, Greater Manchester, was among those taken away by police and later charged. More than a dozen police officers entered the cafe while a BBC television crew were interviewing Mr Davies and some of his customers. The raid came on the day Mr Davies, who supports the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes, was due to answer police bail in connection with his arrest at the cafe in September. Greater Manchester Police said later that they had arrested 11 men and a woman. Two people were charged with being involved in the management of premises being used for the misuse of a controlled drug, and one was charged with possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply. Nine other people were charged with possession of a controlled drug. Supt Richard Crawshaw said later: "It would be unwise for anyone to make the assumption that flagrant defiance of the law is or ever will be allowed by the police."
