LEZLEY JURY TAUGHT GOVERNMENT A LESSON
The jury that returned a not guilty verdict on Lezley Gibson of Alston for
using cannabis to help her overcome the dreadful symptoms of MS have
demonstrated more compassion and understanding that the whole British
Government. They have my gratitude.
It is disgusting that the Crown prosecution Service continue to prosecute
these people for growing or using a therapeutic substance.
It is nonsensical that anyone should be taken to the courts when that other
plant, tobacco, that creates so much illness and suffering is not only
legal but taxed!
Could the real reason be money? I have a feeling that cannabis would be
legalised very quickly if the pharmaceutical companies are able to produce
a profitable and patentable extract.
In the meantime, how many more people will we, the taxpayers, have to watch
being dragged through this so-called justice system at our expense?
The only people who benefit from such cases are the professionals who
prosecute and defend.
