UK Letter: Ease Up On Cannabis Laws

Evening News, Norwich

Friday 09 Sep 2011

Every year over 110,000 deaths in Britain are attributed to tobacco use. Every year in the UK over 50,000 people die from alcohol abuse, and daily violent crimes occur due to alcohol.

Yet both are legally imported and sold under license, legal to possess and to share, legal to produce one's own at home.

There are no deaths attributed to cannabis use per se.

Yet cannabis is illegal to possess, grow or supply and perpetual offenders are be fined and/or imprisoned.

The question is: should alcohol and tobacco be made illegal to ,possess or should the law on cannabis be changed?

Come on, Britain. Ease the suffering caused by the law's treatment of otherwise harmless and law-abiding cannabis users and free up a beneficial medicine .
