Letter: Valid medical use for cannabis

Alun Buffry

Evening News, Norwich

Tuesday 20 Sep 2011

In reply to my previous letter published in the Evening News on Sept 8 ("Ease up on cannabis laws") Mr E Staniland suggested that "he fails to mention the damage done to young people who use cannabis from an early age. (Evening News, Sept 12, "Drug can lead to a living hell")

Yes, I have worked a "mental hospital" as he calls them and yes there are patients there that have used cannabis at an early age, usually having come from broken homes and having also used alcohol and other substances.

But that is no reason to punish them - or the people that use it with no ill effect or even those that use it to ease pains.

In fact, whole cannabis plant extract is now available on prescription through many health authorities in the form of a spray called Sativex.

Furthermore, the plant itself is available on prescription in The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Israel,Canada and other countries, without problem; also in the US through clinics.

Dr Willy Nottcutt and many other doctors and users will testify to the efficacy of this remarkable plant.

This bad law punishes people who have done no harm to others.
