Legal right to use cannabis
Parliament Square, London. Fri 6 Jul 2018
'Freedom to Choose'
'Freedom to Grow'
'HealTHCare for all
People sat and talked; some ate and smoked
Many had stories about how they needed cannabis to cope with medical
conditions

Police tackle a man who rushed up and punched one of the protesters
The protesters say he is a man called Derek White. They say he comes
from Dublin and sells people
fake cannabis oils and has been exposed on the web forum for the group
Many of those in the group grow their own cannabis and have a lot
of shared information about the different
varieties of the herb and their medical uses. But they have particular
scorn for people who sell fake cannabis
products - as they allege this assailant does. They are very pleased
to see the police take him away.
The people who grow it for their own use also often give free to medical
users who cannot grow their own
A police officer talks with the man who was punched and says they
will come back to take a statement
People who want growing cannabis for personal use to be legalised
are seen as a threat, both by drug dealers and also the commercial firms
who are
or would like to be making a fortune from legal supply for medical or leisure
use.
