UK: Liverpool - Cannabis Coffee Shop for City
BBC Online
Wednesday 27 Feb 2002 Plans are underway to open a dutch style cannabis cafe in Liverpool. Although no cannabis will be sold, smokers would be able to smoke the drug in the cafe environment. Nol van Scheik, the co owner of the Dutch Experience, which is a similar venture based in Stockport, says he was approached by a Liverpool entrepreneur at a cannabis conference in Liverpool last week. Although such cafes are tolerated in Holland, possession of Cannabis is illegal in the UK, however there are plans to reduce the classifications from Class B to a Class C drug. Manchester Police raided the Stockport coffee shop part owned by Van Scheik, on its opening day. British owner Colin Davies is still on remand in Strangeways awaiting trial on various drugs related charges. The planners believe a cannabis cafe in Liverpool would operate without any problems.
