Britain's First Cannabis Cafe Owner Jailed


The man behind Britain's first Dutch-style cannabis cafe was jailed for three years on Thursday for possessing and supplying the drug, court officials said. Pot pioneer Colin Davies, 44, a leading British campaigner for the legalization of cannabis who once presented Queen Elizabeth with a bouquet of marijuana plants, opened the cafe in the northern English town of Stockport last September.
