Letter: End Marijuana Prohibition
Ann Clarke The European
Wednesday 07 Jan 1998 I am once again appalled at the amount of time and public money being spent prosecuting a person for an offence involving a virtually harmless plant - cannabis. By now it should be quite clear that cannabis is remarkably safe. This has been confirmed by every major Government and scientific investigation including our own 1968 Royal Commission Report. Our laws are meant to protect people and society, not simply impose the will of the Government on its citizens. Recently they have banned beef on the bone - that, like cannabis, has been declared dangerous. Yet known poisons and dangers, not only the likes of alcohol and tobacco but also mercury fillings, clingfilm, pesticides, pollutants and food additives, are allowed. Let's get the matter straight. The act of the Minister's son in supplying cannabis, had no victim, nobody was hurt (except possibly the pride of his farther). Millions of people have supplied each other with cannabis since this case has been in the press, both supplier and supplied being happy to be involved and with no harm done. The only victims will be the lad himself - a victim of a nonsense law - and the public who will foot the bill. What we need is truth, not the hidden agenda or some sort of Nanny State run by hypocritical individuals who seem hardly capable of living within their own rules. Ann Clarke Norwich
