C'est une affaire de justice qui fait écho à un grand débat de société, celui du cannabis thérapeutique. Ariimatatini Vairaaroa, ce père de trois enfants qui soignait son fils épileptique à l’huile de cannabis, avait été relaxé en juin dernier. Mais le parquet général a fait appel de cette décision et le poursuit pour usage de stupéfiants. Le procès s'est déroulé ce mercredi 2 avril.
