Protesters
calling for the legalisation of cannabis staged a demonstration outside a
court.
About a dozen
campaigners cheered and waved placards in support of three men who appeared at
Chichester Crown Court.
All three
admitted drug offences in connection with an alleged Dutch-style cannabis cafe.
Chris Baldwin,
52, of Carnegie Close, Worthing, who ran the Quantum Leaf cafe and adjoining
Bongchuffa shop in Rowlands Road, Worthing, and Mark Benson, 37, of Irene
Avenue, Lancing, admitted allowing premises to be used for smoking cannabis on
November 27th 2002.
Winston Matthew, 46, of Court Lodge Road, Horley, also attended yesterday's hearing and admitted possessing more than 450g of cannabis with intent to supply.
