A Liverpool businessman fought for 17-years to keep the doors of the city's first Amsterdam-style cannabis cafe open.
Yesterday, well-known cannabis legislation campaigner Gary Youds, 53, pleaded guilty to drugs offences at Liverpool Crown Court. The dad had been on his way to supply a dying man with cannabis oil, free of charge, when he was stopped by police in October 2020.
During a raid on his home on Cavan Road in Norris Green on February 19, 2022, police discovered a grow of six large cannabis plants, as well as a quantity of cannabis with a street value of up to £7,000. During a police interview, Youds said he was "saving the city by producing the fruits of the earth for the people".
