LEZLEY and Mark Gibson along with Marcus Davies have between them created and supplied a medicine the government cannot provide for free. Their work is inspirational and they should by rights be rewarded for the hard work and care they have put into helping people whom suffer from MS. Those responsible for the charges bought against THC4MS will have to live with their decision, even after cannabis is legalised for medical use. I know lots of people with MS; the medicines available have terrible side effects, and all the MS sufferers I know believe THC4MS were doing the right thing. [continues 70 words]
I am writing with my support for Carl Wagner, who was recently featured in the Mail after his outrageous treatment by the police. With the Government making cannabis a Class C drug from January 29, the treatment Mr Wagner and his family received beggars belief. It would be sensible to first study the movements of someone before breaking down doors, ruining decor and scaring children half to death before Christmas. This sort of behaviour will be frowned upon from January 29, when police will have to use their "discretion" when arresting cannabis users. [continues 74 words]
I am writing to express my support to the staff at Buddys Cafe in Worthing. Having recently visited Worthing after travelling some 250 miles, I have nothing but praise for these people who selflessly put themselves on the line for the sake of others. Local businesses seem busy, there must be an increase of income for the petrol stations, restaurants, bed and breakfasts and shops with the visitors from the Cafe. I have heard of the latest police operation, and must ask how much has this cost the homeowners of Worthing? And if the police seriously wanted to close it down, why did they broadcast the fact on the local radio? It seems, if you don't mind me saying, a little bizarre that the police have decided to wait 11 months before doing anything, and the previous cafe Bongchuffer was closed down by the owner, not the police! So why have the police suddenly become heavy handed? Has there been a sudden change to the silent policy they have kept for the last 11 months? Have they only just realised that these people are breaking the law? Chris Baldwin deserves an award for his work, Pleasantly designed cafes with a community spirit, employment of locals pushing down unemployment, providing information to the public about political issues, helping the sick, providing space for those who were outcasts of society, providing sensible guidelines. There is far worse behaviour from drunks than cannabis users, and if the town of Worthing would like to see there hard earned cash on imprisoning a man with spasticated legs, and others for helping in his campaign, carry on letting the police persecute him.
