Gary's Fight for Cannabis: Back in Prison

Gary's Fight for Cannabis: Back in Prison

Author: The Daily News Now! April 25, 2026 Duration: 1:54

Gary Youds, a 56-year-old cannabis activist from Liverpool, is back in prison for refusing to shut down his illegal cannabis cafe, The Chillin Rooms. Despite over 50 arrests and 5 years in prison, Gary remains unapologetic about his fight for legalization. He opened the cafe in 1998 as a safe space for cannabis use, leading to constant raids and closures. Gary is currently serving time for letting class B drugs be smoked on site and is urging supporters to attend his sentencing on April 28th to push for change.
