New Zealand: Death Sentence Imposed on Medical Cannabis Patient 1

The Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party's candidate in the Botany by-election, Leo Biggs, is calling on Judge Neave to show compassion in the case of a Timaru cancer patient to be sent to jail for using medical cannabis.
Peter Davy appeared before the court last Tuesday on charges surrounding the cultivation of medical cannabis where Judge Neave told him to "prepare for jail" at sentencing.
However, if sent to jail, Mr Davy has vowed to go on hunger strike and abstain from his cancer medicines until he dies as a protest against the persecution of New Zealand’s medical cannabis users.
Jailing Mr Davy will also mean a death sentence for his partner, who suffers from advanced multiple sclerosis.
Judge Neave only reluctantly bailed Mr Davy until sentencing so that he could arrange to sell all their belongings and pay for her to die slowly in a rest home.
In light of the continued suffering of Mr. Davy and so many others, ALCP’s Leo Biggs is calling on the Government and Police to enact an immediate moratorium on arrests of medical cannabis users.
It is high time that New Zealand’s unjust, hypocritical, and in this case deadly cannabis prohibition laws are reformed.

haha... the judge told a person that broke the law they were going to jail, shocking. Look, I'm not for prohibition and if he actually dies in prison from the cancer and without eating then thats pretty brave; however, i'll be looking for an obit on shroomery for this guy in the coming weeks. I may sound like an asshole because i've had some beers but my bet is on this guy eats something vs. starving to death in jail.

Except that most cancer patients using marijuana are using it to deal with severe nausea, among other things. It is very possible that, without his medicine, this man will not be able to eat any food, or to keep down what he could force himself to swallow.
I don't think he is stopping eating just because he's angry they won't let him get high [though he probably is angry]. He is planning to stop eating because they are arresting him for, and separating him from, the one medicine that make eating possible for him.

Look this guy is going to die either way. He shouldn't have to spend what life he has left in prison. I don't believe in putting people in prisons for non-violent crimes, and in this case to let them die. This guy was treating himself for an illness, I see nothing wrong with his actions and he deserves to live free in his last days of life. If I were here I would protest for him. How sad people don't even give a fuck unless it's themselves on the death bed.
-------------------- Legalize! Stop putting our children in prisons.

Absolutely disgusting, he and his partner will be in my thoughts. When will the mentality of humanity advance to the point that people stop hurting peaceful others because they don't approve of something that they do...

oh ok, I'll stop wishing the people on the other side of the planet the best in their shitty situation then? Because who cares about them...
Sorry if I misread your reply but I find that a little offensive if I was correct

It was supposed to be offensive. Words, especially thoughts, without actions are meaningless. Is there going to be any difference if you wish them luck from across the world vs. if you didn't?

wow, no dude there really isn't going to be any difference, just saying that I can relate to what's happening to them as I am jail-bound myself as of next month and they've taken away my medicine that I use for my Cachexia for the next three years, it's very upsetting to see it happen over and over again.
I'll just have to keep my opinions to myself, especially on such an open minded friendly forum such as this, not much I can do about what's happening to them especially in my situation, so sorry for angering you, I really can't see how you could have taken it that way.
Good vibes your way
