SUFFERERS WILL HAVE TO GO TO DEALERS

I FELT the judge gave the jury no option but to find the three
guilty.

Advised as they were that they must disregard the fact that the
cannabis chocolate was being given, without charge, to MS sufferers,
the jury could hardly be said to have been given free will in their
verdict.

In my view asking the jury to disregard undisputed facts because
politicians don't like those facts is an utter travesty of law.

I would like to hear the opinion of one of the jurors as to whether
they felt pressured into the conviction or whether they truly believe
the actions of THC4MS were a crime.
