An Indonesian court on Borneo island on Wednesday jailed a man for eight months after he grew medicinal marijuana to help ease the pain being suffered by his cancer-stricken wife. "Because any decision won't make his wife come back," she said in a telephone text message. He should not be jailed for loving his wife," said Mr Harsono. Indonesian President Joko Widodo recently told law enforcement officers to shoot drug traffickers to deal with the narcotics emergency in the country. Mr Widodo has also been criticised by rights groups and some foreign governments for ordering the executions of convicted drug traffickers.
