Man escapes jail over cannabis 'allotment'
Rhiannon Edward | The Scotsman | 12/20/2005

A 60-YEAR-OLD man, who grew thousands of pounds worth of cannabis in his home, escaped a jail sentence yesterday after he was found to be growing the plant out of an interest in horticulture.

Temporary judge Ian Simpson, QC, ordered Richard Murray to perform 240 hours' unpaid work in the community.

The High Court in Glasgow heard police found £12,000 worth of cannabis and £2,000 in cash when they raided his flat in Keith Court, Partick, on 30 December, last year.

Murray admitted growing cannabis and being in illegal possession of the drug. His plea of not guilty to being concerned in the supply of cannabis was accepted by the Crown. Temporary judge Simpson told Murray: "What you had in the top floor of your house was a fertile allotment rather than a cannabis factory."

The square is seldom if ever cool. He is not "with it," that is, he doesn't know "what's happening." But if he manages to figure it out, he moves up a notch to "hip." And if he can bring himself to approve of what is happening, he becomes "groovy." After that, with much luck and perseverance, he can rise to the rank of "cool." A cool guy... cool guy... cool guy...
