Wales: Cannabis cafe 'goes ahead'

Daily Post, Wales

Thursday 13 Feb 2003

---

A MAN who who walked free from Manchester Crown Court after drug charges
were dropped, claimed his plans to open an Amsterdam-style coffee-shop
in Rhyl would go ahead.

Jeffrey Ditchfield, of Henllan, near Denbigh, said the decision to drop
charges of possessing cannabis with intent to supply gave him the "green
light."

"If sick people ask me for cannabis I will give it to them," he said. "I
am now even more determined to get the café up and running." "I readily
admitted both at magistrates' court and crown court that I did give
cannabis choco-late to a quadriplegic, but pleaded not guilty because it
was out of medical necessity.

"I was angry when I was told the case was dismissed because I wanted my
day in court. I am also annoyed that Manchester police spend so much
time and money preparing the case.

"My bill for solicitors and barristers is about £7,000 and that will
have to be met by the taxpayer."
