Although I'm dead against drug taking of any sort, I do sympathise with people that are in pain and have received relief from that pain by smoking cannabis.

I do know a few people who smoke it because they either suffer from MS or other long term illnesses/diseases that other legal drugs provides little relief for.

He was clearly not doing it for profit either, like so many other "drug dealers", and the fact that his wife of 53 years has alzheimer's also makes me more sympathetic to what the poor guy must be going through every day.

A suspended sentence was correct in this case, its just a shame that his "customers" might have lost their chance of a little relief from their pain. [thumbdown]
