https://www.marijuanaaustraliana.net/module...order=0&thold=0 The Supreme Court of Canada is about to hear a thermo-nuclear warhead of a case regarding cannabis prohibition.

A "sophisticated" drugs factory containing hundreds of cannabis plants with a street value of up to £100,000 has been found at a north Shropshire farm. Detectives discovered the crop of nearly 400 plants being cultivated in a disused pig shed yesterday. They believe the building, between Whitchurch and Market Drayton, had been rented out by a local farmer to two men from the north-west of England. The farmer has been spoken to on suspicion of being concerned with the production of cannabis and inquiries are continuing to find the people who grew the plants. Detective Constable Rob McNamara said today: "The building was full of neat rows of cannabis plants abou…

The news emerged alongside results showing an in-line net loss of £13.7 million for the year to September 30. Investors in GW have been frustrated by delays in the UK launch of cannabis-based medicine Sativex, with the shares falling by more than half from a mid-2003 high of 264 pence.
