Letter: Cannabis Myths

Hugh Robertson

The Scotsman

Tuesday 18 Feb 1997

Sir, - Colin Ramsay (Letters, 14 February) says there is no learning curve in the matter of drugs control. I agree; I despair to see people repeating these myths as facts.

If there are mental hospitals full of cannabis victims, why did the Lancet say in 1995: "The smoking of cannabis even long term, is not harmful to health"? Even the DEA has stopped most of these unfounded claims.

The reason the Egyptians made these claims was to protect their cotton crop against hemp which was about to become a very viable alternative due to the invention of a new harvesting machine in 1937.

It is incredible that many people still believe that old "reefer madness" propoganda.
