The 'highly' successful 'Hemp & Hydro Expo (2006)' organised by the cannabis magazine 'Weed World' for the newly opened Ricoh Arena in Coventry, has been banned - apparently by the local council.

With only a few weeks to go before the event, Coventry County Council is being blamed for the cancellation - despite approval having been granted by the police!

People from all over the world were expected, including several bands from the USA which were to take part in the 'Global Marijuana Music Awards'.

Last year over 12,000 people attended the event which was held in Wembley, London.
