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.
