Cannabis election candidates charged

A CUMBRIAN couple who stood for the Legalise Cannabis Alliance party at the general election have been charged with plotting to supply the drug.

Mark and Lezley Gibson, of Front Street, Alston, are due to appear at Carlisle Crown Court today, charged alongside another man with conspiracy to supply cannabis.
It is alleged this took place between January, 2000, and February, 2005.

Mr Gibson, 41, stood as a candidate for Penrith and the Border in the May election as well as in 2001, while his wife stood in the Carlisle constituency this year.
Mrs Gibson, also 41, came to national attention in 2000 when she was cleared at Carlisle Crown Court of possessing cannabis.
The jury made its decision after hearing how she needed the drug to ease her multiple sclerosis (MS).
In 2003, Mark Gibson shelved plans to open a Dutch-style cannabis cafe in Cumbria.
Speaking after the charges were brought, he said: “I can categorically deny selling any cannabis to anyone.”
The Gibsons, who run a shop in Alston, are co-accused with Marcus Davies, 36, of The Grove, Warboys Road, St Ives, Cambridgeshire. They were charged on July 25.

It was also revealed that Princess Diana’s astrologer was arrested during the investigations leading up to the charges.

Penny Thornton was arrested at her home in Haslemere, Surrey, but police decided she was not involved in any alleged conspiracy.
