Mark and Lesley Gibson have helped many people in pain and discomfort by sending out cannabis chocolate; it is a crime to drag them through the courts and waste taxpayers' money. This is another indication that this Government and its courts are fully prepared to go soft on class A drugs, but that they come down hard on those who merely help themselves to alleviate pain, with no crime committed at all. The Royal Mail and police must have known and done nothing for a very long time; what suddenly changed their minds, and who told them to arrest and prosecute when the classification of cannabis has gone down to C, not up? Let these people go free and stop wasting money on politically motivated show trials that prove nothing. Ingo Wagenknecht Rockland St Mary Norfolk - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
