Couple escape jail over MS cannabis bars

“In the case against Mr Gibson I accept that he believed he was correct in what he was doing and that there was no profit,” said the judge. “In the case of Mrs Gibson her motive was altruistic and unfortunately she already suffers from MS. “The couple began making the bars after Mrs Gibson found that cannabis greatly improved her condition. She was diagnosed with MS in 1985, but defied predictions that she would be in a wheelchair within five years. They sent free bars to more than 1,600 people – almost 2% of MS sufferers in the country. Police raided their home in 2005 after a bag of the bars spilled open in a sorting office. Greeted with cheers from supporters after the case, the couple said they were disappointed with the sentence and would appeal against it.

A senior economics lecturer at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, has suggested that medical marijuana could be one of the new industries capitalised on by St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Speaking at the launch the National Development Plan here, Claremont Kirton said more needed to be explored into the area of the medical usages of the illegal drug. “This is the kind of research that is needed where commodities we have at our disposal can become part of our new economic base,” Kirton said, adding that marijuana had already been used in the development of treatments for glaucoma. Validity of official statistical data
He also questioned the validity of official statistical data, which he said captured only formal economic activity, stating that the Caribbean had a huge informal economy that included illegal industries.
