UK: Cannabis cafe vows to stay open

The Argus (Worthing)

Friday 13 Dec 2002

---
THE OWNER of Worthing's cannabis cafe has vowed to keep the business open
despite it being raided by more than 30 police officers, with 12 arrests.

The Bongchuffa in Rowlands Road re-opened just a day after police some in
riot gear stormed the cafe. In fact, on Tuesday it was named as the
headquarters of the Legalise Cannabis Alliance.

Pro-cannabis campaigner Chris Baldwin, who owns the site, plus another
called Good Buddy in East Worthing, said: "The feeling among the people
involved with the cafe is it cannot be closed down. Since the raid, there
has been an incredible camaraderie everyone has been on an amazing high,
which is an irony. We had been waiting for the raid all these months and it
is almost a relief."

When the Herald went to press yesterday, a reader telephoned to say the
town centre shop was closed.

However, Chris emphasised this was only for a couple of days and was due to
an unforeseen staffing problem.
