shug Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 (edited) Biz Ivol is an MS sufferer who started making and giving away cannachoc to other MS sufferers. She got busted 2 years ago and is finallygoing to court tomorrow. She's already been on BBC Scotland in many papers last Friday - she announced she was going to kill herself after her trial. (Petition soon to go live on http://www.lca-uk.org for this) but with her case starting its time for more. This is an elderly, disabled lady who lives on her own, reliant on home help which sometimes means 22 hours a day in bed. And she's been campaigning for legalisation for years, founded THC4MS, and is still doing her best to help others. Time for some of us to help her by writing letters to the papers and keeping this disgraceful trial in the public eye. FWD Message from THC4MS: Have chatted to Biz again this afternoon, she wants max publicity, The Times are to cover the story and are interviewing Biz tomorrow during which she will tell all she knows about thc4ms. Grampian TV are being told the same. David Rowan who covered thc4ms in the Telegraph article now works for the Times and hopes to cover the story in the news section!
