Milkman Delivers Cannabis To Seniors [UK]

A 72-year-old milkman has admitted supplying cannabis to pensioners to ward off their "aches and pains" December 22, 2008 - SkyNews
Robert Holding delivered the drug - which he kept in an egg box - while doing his daily milk round.
Burnley Crown Court was told that he had 17 customers and built up his trade through "word of mouth".
Judge Beverley Lunt said Holding told police that the drug "was for elderly people who had aches and pains".
Philip Holden, defending, said Holding's customers "were of a certain age" and it was a "somewhat bizarre case".
Holding, of Burnley, Lancashire, pleaded guilty to supplying cannabis resin, a Class C drug, between April 1 and July 18 this year.
He also admitted possessing the drug on July 17.
The case was adjourned for a pre-sentence report.
Holding was released on bail and will be sentenced on February 6.
Judge Lunt warned him: "You must understand these are serious offences and in my judgement the likely outcome is an immediate custodial sentence."

Why did they quote "Aches and Pains"? Do people buy Tylenol for "Headaches"?

He won't goto jail in the UK for a class c drug at his age. Its just a scare tactic for the newspapers to pick up on.

I'm sure i read Jan 1st it's goin back up to a B. Whatsit smith the old bint decided she knows better than a panel of scientist and has decided it's going back up.
I'm thinking, if his trial is after that date, they will charge him with the drug as a B?
He doesn't deserve jail. No-one deserves jail when it comes to drugs.
