Did you hear about the milkman in England that was delivering more than milk? The standing joke here in the United States is that a child is the ‘Milkman’s’ and my father was the ‘Milkman’s’ son. His father that was married to his mother was the local milkman so he really was the milkman’s kid. Isn’t that funny!!
Anyway the story goes like this for the Milkman in England:
LONDON – A British prosecutor says an elderly milkman supplied customers with cannabis as well as bottles of milk. Robert Holding, 72, delivered marijuana as he made his daily rounds in the town of Burnely, in northwestern England.
Prosecutor Sarah Statham said Friday that Holding offered the drug to elderly customers suffering from aches and pain. She says the customers left Holding notes on their doorsteps to order the drug.
According to Britain’s dairy industry, around 1.5 million British homes have milk delivered by a milkman. Deliveries have declined over the last 20 years. Holding pleaded guilty to supplying the drug and was given suspended jail sentence of 36 months.
Well at least he was only selling to elderly people to try and help them with medical problems and not selling it to kids on the street. I think he should be commended in someways. It’s about time they did something to realize that marijuana does have some health benefits. The problem is the government can’t figure out how to tax and control it. It’s too easy to just grow in your house in a flower pot apparently.
I don’t know because I don’t care for the stuff personally. I guess I’m too much of a control freak to let something like that have any type of control over me if only for a short period of time. Besides, it’s illegal and I sure wouldn’t want to go to jail for a buzz. Besides, I prefer natural highs like realizing this is my 100th post!!!! How cool is that??
