3000 Word Sentance
A judge yesterday ordered a drug grower to write a 3000-word essay on the links between cannabis and schizophrenia as part of his sentence.
In the Supreme Court in Brisbane, Justice George Fryberg said smoking cannabis increased chances of mental illness and, in particular, schizophrenia. He said unlike moderate use of alcohol, use of cannabis could have long-term effects on users.
Justice Fryberg was sentencing David Allan Wotton, 43, who pleaded guilty to producing cannabis sativa between September 1, 2004 and April 4 last year.
