Let me tell you something – this milkman has been through hell. Believe me I know, because a friend of the family has been through the very same thing as he, for growing and supplying the stuff to his MS suffering wife, and patients in an AIDS clinic.
If the police suspect – and that’s suspect, not prove – that an individual is profiting from the growing of pot, they have the power (thanks to the Government currently in charge) to freeze the financial assets of that individual, and prevent that individual from paying any of their debts, effectively destroying their credit, and driving them to ruin. It doesn’t matter if you have a mortgage to pay – tough – you end up getting repossessed. This happened to my friend, by the way.
What is truly twisted is it is effectively incumbent on the accused to prove they have NOT been profiting from the cultivation of pot, instead of it being incumbent on the prosecutors to prove the accused HAS been profiting. This is a complete reversal of habeas corpus, the core principal of our criminal justice system. The politicians who produced this abomination should be tried for treason, as it betrays the most fundamental values of our nation’s democracy.
My friend ended up with a suspended sentence and 100 hours community service. And they only proved he was producing the stuff, mind you. Although they tried and tried, there was not a shred of evidence that he was running a commercial operation. But his house has been repossessed, and it is only by the truly unselfish actions of his sons that he and his wife have a decent roof over their heads.
The law against cannabis is idiotic in the extreme. This law ruins many, many more lives than the ‘drug’ itself. Thanks to this law, those terminally ill people will have to find their pain relief through other channels. Probably by perfectly legal – and dangerously habit forming substances – such as morphine. Or buying the stuff from geniune hard case criminals, the very people who just love cannabis being illegal, for fairly obvious reasons.

I don’t get it. the police know most dealers that stand on street corners and employ young kids as runners, or attract all kinds of low life to a block of flats where people and their kids are trying to lead decent lives, and yet do nothing, I have to wonder why he was arrested at all.

I have never taken illegal drugs in my life but approve of them for pain relief; they should be prescribed.

the moment you start deciding which laws we can break is the moment you start on the road to anarchy. if we all sat around like you getting stoned and laughing all night at sergeant bilko who would run the country?

I,m angry that yet again a drug dealer got away with it.
