Father who claimed cannabis oil cured his cancer dies a year later aged just 34

David Hibbitt, from Stoke-on-Trent,was diagnosed with the disease in July 2012 and underwent chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery.

Doctors told him the cancer was terminal - so he decided to try cannabis oil as a last resort and bought it from a local dealer for £50 a gram. He had been concerned about using cannabis oil and even approached a police officer for advice but was told it would not be in the public interest to press charges. Last January the father-of-one revealed he was cancer-free and put the class-B drug down to his miracle recovery. But the cancer returned in March this year and spread to his lung and brain. He finally lost his battle with the disease earlier this month.
