RIP - Cannabis Campaigners that we have lost along the road: CLARE HODGES / ELIZABETH BRICE

RIP - Cannabis Campaigners that we have lost along the road: CLARE HODGES / ELIZABETH BRICE: "September 22, 2011
Death of a campaigner from Paul Flynn MP
Clare Hodges has died. She was a splendid campaigner and sent me this moving letter in 1997. Her real name was Elisabeth Brice. She campaigned under the assumed name to avoid prosecution. Unknown-2

She was powerfully persuasive and energetic in spite of the crippling pain of her MS. Among the other activities of this former TV producer was a translation of Noddy books into Latin.

Thanks to her campaigning Sativax is available. It is not natural cannabis but has gone some way to allow cannabinoids to be ingested legally. On one of her visits to the House of Commons Clare brewed her own tea on the Terrace. The staff were puzzled by the little green leaves that were left in her cup."
