Once in his greenhouse in a remote Dutch village, Doede de Jong nurtured a thriving cannabis crop to sell to local users. Now only five plants remain, after the police moved in. Yet the 66-year-old Dutchman remains unbowed after winning a court victory despite deliberately flouting the country's drugs laws. In a verdict that could have major implications for cannabis growers in The Netherlands, a court found De Jong guilty of breaking the law, but refused to hand down a sentence, arguing that his enterprise was quite distinct from that of real criminals who rake in huge, illicit profits.
