Monk accused of growing cannabis 'dying'

A Buddhist monk accused of hydroponically growing cannabis at his inner-Sydney laundrette is terminally ill and has been taken to hospital, a court has been told.
Jose Maria Sanz-Tonnelier, known by his fellow monks as the Venerable Yanatharo, is facing several charges of cultivation, possession and supply of drugs, after raids on his premises at Darlinghurst earlier this year.

Sanz-Tonnelier failed to appear on Tuesday in Downing Centre Local Court, where his lawyer handed up a medical certificate showing he was receiving hospital treatment for terminal cancer. Magistrate Margaret Quinn suspended the bail condition that he report twice weekly to police and adjourned the matter to December 4 in the same court.
