About Me


I found my layouts for Myspace on pYzam.com , but they also have really funny pictures !


I am a proud dad and a campaigner to Legalise Cannabis!For many years I used cannabis to ease the spasms in my legs that an injury caused,to get a better nights sleep and ease the pain. Although I felt the law against cannabis and the punishment of users was totally unjust, I, like most of us, did little about changing it.Then I came across a Legalise Cannabis Alliance flier at a Howard Marks gig in my area and realised that I was not alone, there was a serious political party that I could work with.In 2001, I represented the LCA in the General Election, contesting Worthing East and Shoreham and gaining a very impressive 920 votes (2.1%) .Wanting to more to help the cause, in particular to bring attention to both the general injustice of the law that punishes victimless cannabis users AND interferes with the supply of a highly effective medicinal plant, I decided to open a cannabis cafe in my home town, Worthing.At the front of the premises in Rowlands Road which we leased, We opened a shop selling cannabis paraphernalia and magazines, behind which and through a monitored door we opened one of the UK's first cannabis cafes. The shop was called 'Bonchuffa' and the cafe was 'The Quantum Leaf'.Already there had been two attempts at opening public cannabis cafes in England. The first, 'The Dutch Experience', was opened in Stockport and led to the eventual imprisonment of Colin Davies for three years. The second was "Dutch Experience II' opened in Bournemouth for Jimmy Ward. Jimmy eventually received a suspended sentence.Yet I pushed on with the plans and made no secret of it, voluntarily going to the police to discuss our venture.The cafe was so successful that we opened a second place, Buddies, on the other side of Worthing.I also set up The Herb Connection, a source of cannabis for those in urgent medical need.The story continues through a series of police raids on both cafes. Bongchuffa was closed after the landlord withdrew the lease. Buddies was "voluntarily" shut down after police continued their presence outside, harassing customers and searching them.
