Sarah Chalk, Sussex Spokesperson for Legalise Cannabis Alliance said: "In
Worthing the whole community benefited, from charities to local business"
adding, "If there were cannabis cafes all over the UK, just think how the
whole country would benefit."
A message has already gone out via the internet calling for support from the
thousands who actually visited Quantum Leaf and Buddies in Worthing, to
travel a few miles and let people know what they think.
Sarah said: "These brave men should be recognised.
"We intend to have a peaceful demo outside the court On Friday 9th January
2004,
"I am expecting people as far away as Scotland to turn up to show support.

Harmless you may think, but you would be very wrong. They have got young kids nicking all sorts of stuff for them in return for their weekly hash supply, which they in turn sell to other kids. None of these young men work, they don't need to. They are making a tidy living selling dope, and then ringing cars with the proceeds of their ill gotten gains. All in all they are cause of a mini crime wave in this area.
If cannabis was completely legalised it would put a stop to the criminal lifestyle associated with buying and selling dope. People are going to use dope anyway, all the 'just say no' campaigns wont stop it.
Cannabis cafes are a brilliant idea and should be encouraged, or else we fuel criminal behaviour !
