MARKET FOR CANNABIS

A PRO-CANNABIS conference in Norwich has been told acres of farmland could
soon be used to grow cannabis giving an uplift to the rural economy.

The Norwich-based Legalise Cannabis Alliance says there are nine million
users in the UK and that the potential market for home-grown varieties is
enormous.

The issue was discussed at the lobby group's third annual conference at the
University of East Anglia on Saturday. There was no smoking in the lecture
theatre hall but people openly rolled and smoked joints outside.
