Manchester - A man who admitted growing and using cannabis to relieve pain from spinal injuries was yesterday acquitted on drugs charges in a landmark case.
Mr Colin Davies (42) set up the Medical Marijuana Co-operative and supplied two sufferers of multiple sclerosis with the drug.
Mr Davies, of Romney Towers, Brinnington, Stockport, Greater Manchester, pleaded a defence that he took the drug through medical necessity after suffering side effects from conventional drugs.
