Well
financed and able to defend itself the suppliers of hard drugs
- the drugs the government promised to target such as heroin
and cocaine - have continued to spread like a cancer through
our society. Meanwhile the full force of the law has been
directed where it's easy to get results - such as busting
THC4MS.
What's
happened is people who supplied cannabis for free - in a non-smoking
form - to ease pain relief in ill people have been made to
go through what can only be desrcibed as a "show trial"
in order to demonstrate the law is tough and even medical
users will be prosecuted. This is sick beyond belief, but
true.
Talk
to Frank says:
"Using cannabis to relieve pain is also an offence.
Possession is illegal whatever you’re using it
for".

In
May last year, the court of appeal ruled "medical necessity"
could be no defence for the possession or supply of cannabis
as a pain relief, leaving the way open for the police to target
medical cannabis users.
These
people may have broken a law, but they are not criminals.
They stood trial in a place dedicated to "justice",
not "law enforcement" - justice has not been done.
