UK: Cops raid cannabis cafe
Stockport Express
Friday 04 Oct 2002 POLICE raided the UK's first cannabis café just hours after its owner was jailed. Two men and a woman were arrested for public order and drugs offences when police swooped on the Dutch Experience café in Stockport just hours after owner Colin Davies was sentenced to three years in jail for drugs offences. His defence team had hoped that Davies would be released after spending nine months behind bars on remand. His father, also called Colin, accused police of persecuting his family. Mr Davies, 72, said: "The judge was quite lenient, but I have to say that any money spent by the police seems to be spent on persecuting Colin Davies. "He is a bit down-hearted by the sentence, but he told me last night that he was found guilty so he will do what he has to do. "He has no regrets and said he would do it again. The police have deprived Colin's patients of getting any help from him so they will now have to go to street dealers."
