UK: Cannabis case point of law

Daily Post, Wales

THE Court of Appeal will today consider a point of law raised in the trial
of North Wales cannabis campaigner Jeffrey Ditchfield.

The attorney general has asked the court's opinion on the question of

the drug only for medicinal purposes. The court cannot overturn the acquittal.
