CANNABIS PLAN FOR FARMERS

Labour MP Jon Owen Jones has launched a Private Member's bill to legalise 
personal use of cannabis - arguing that it would cut crime, and beleaguered 
British farmers could grow it.

Mr Jones, MP for Cardiff Central, said the measure would provide a hardy 
crop for farmers left on their knees by foot and mouth disease, BSE, 
tumbling dairy prices and concerns over genetically modified crops.
