A Timaru man calling for medicinal cannabis to be legalised has been sentenced to six months' home detention for cannabis-related charges.
Peter John Frances Davy, 51, unemployed, appeared in the Timaru District Court this afternoon.
Davy previously said he was the 24-hour carer for his partner, who had advanced multiple sclerosis, and if he was jailed he would go on a hunger strike.
His story attracted supporters from around the country, including some who travelled from Auckland and Christchurch to protest at his arrest when he last appeared before the court in April.
Judge Joanna Maze this afternoon sentenced Davy to six months' home detention for importing cannabis seeds and cultivating cannabis.
Davy was also sentenced to one month home detention for each charge of possession of cannabis seeds, posssession of cannabis plant, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Davy has said he smoked cannabis to "take the edge off" the nausea caused by medication he took for prolactinoma, a benign tumour of the pituitary gland which produces the hormone prolactin.
