Three arrested at Scotland’s first cannabis café

THREE people were arrested for drugs offences at Scotland’s first cannabis café, police said last night.

The arrest of the two men and a woman for possession of cannabis at the Purple Haze Café coincided with the reclassification of the drug, from Class B to Class C, which came into force today.

Allegedly, Paul Stewart, the owner of the café in Leith, Edinburgh, was one of the three arrested.
