The Dutch Experience in Bournemouth, Dorset, opened its doors to the strains of the popular song "Because I Got High", six months after the first cannabis cafe opened in Stockport, Greater Manchester. The latest opening follows the more relaxed attitude of police to cannabis possession in Lambeth, south London. By lunchtime yesterday, business seemed brisk and the former warehouse close to the Clouds Structured Day Treatment Programme, a drug rehabilitation centre, was full of people openly rolling and smoking cannabis joints. Jimmy Ward, 29, the owner, said he was abiding by the law. Although patrons, some of whom are multiple sclerosis sufferers, are free to smoke cannabis in the members' room, no other drugs are permitted and no one under 18 will be admitted. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
