CANNABIS seed seller Gypsy Nirvana hailed “British justice” yesterday after winning the latest round of his five-year battle against extradition to the US.
Mr Nirvana, who was formerly a roadie for the Clash, faced four charges of producing and distributing, importing and exporting cannabis seeds and money laundering in the US state of Maine.
A district judge at Westminster magistrates’ court dismissed a previous attempt to extradite Mr Nirvana last August as the possession and sale of cannabis seeds is not illegal under British law.
