Man grew cannabis to combat genital itch
A man has been shown leniency after explaining he was growing cannabis to use the drug to tackle a genital itch. Gregor Spalding admitted cultivating the drug at his home in Blairgowrie. The court was told his "amateurish attempt" to cultivate cannabis was provoked by chronic pain he had suffered for three years. Spalding said prescription medicine had failed to tackle pain caused by constant itching around his genitals. He had decided to try using the drug as a painkiller, after reading about it on the internet, and wanted to grow cannabis himself, instead of buying it from a drug dealer. His doctor wrote a letter to the court confirming Spalding had suffered chronic pain from an itching condition known as pruritus for three years. Sentence was deferred for six months for Spalding to be of good behavior. He was assured that if he maintained this he would be treated "leniently".
