Joseph Hall was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court on Wednesday, September 16.

Judge Stuart Rafferty said he had heard about the better side of Hall, after letters to him told of his work for people in the community.

"One letter describes you as someone people will look up to," said he judge.

"I hope that is not so. Because the letters and your own letter only tell part of the story. That is the positive view.

"The negative view is of someone who, over and over and over again, has involved themselves in the trafficking of Class A drugs, and has used drugs himself over many years."

LONDON, Sept. 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GW Pharmaceuticals plc (Nasdaq:GWPH) (AIM:GWP) ("GW," "the Company" or "the Group"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing novel therapeutics from its proprietary cannabinoid product platform, today announced positive top line results from an exploratory Phase 2a placebo-controlled clinical trial of Cannabidiol (CBD) in 88 patients with schizophrenia who had previously failed to respond adequately to first line anti-psychotic medications.

Marijuana is often lumped into the same category as cigarettes, hard drugs, and even alcohol, with the latest trend being to designate cannabis as "less harmful" than these other substances.

The study enrolled around 3,000 healthy young US adults in the mid-1980s. Over the following years, researchers carried out regular medical assessments and questioned participants about their use of cannabis and other substances.
