I have been very shocked and outraged by what English justice is capable of. In my country sick people are given the medicine they need. They don't have to rely on the goodwill of people like Lezley and Mark Gibson and Marcus Davies to provide them with pain relief. In my country MS sufferers are even allowed to grow their own pain relief in their own homes (if they still can), if not there are many government institutions that supply cannabis to the sufferers of MS, legally. If we are one Europe why are these three angels being prosecuted (persecuted). The government should be able to tell the difference between street dealers and well intentioned helpers of sick people. The three people found guilty have never gained in any way from distributing their cannachoc. They have never pushed the chocolate. They gave it away to people who sent a doctor's letter. These three people should not be sent to jail, they should have been given a New Year's honour for their help to society. Chris Kramer Sondel, Holland - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
