Leeds grandad breaks drug law to tackle multiple sclerosis Create new blog
This man is so ill he spends days in agony and can barely walk. But under a recent Government decision he could be jailed for FIVE YEARS for using the only drug that eases his pain.

The Leeds grandfather-of-eight, who has Multiple Sclerosis, takes small amounts of cannabis to treat his symptoms.

But under current law, he makes himself a criminal every time he buys and uses his "medication".

On top of that, he could face a heavy prison sentence when parliament confirms the Government's move to return cannabis to class 'B'.

That five-year sentence, for possession, is the same as the mandatory jail term for illegally possessing a firearm, and the proposed maximum for killing someone by driving carelessly............
