POTHEADS ARE THE
LEAST OF THE POLICE'S WORRIES
I Can sympathise
with pro-cannabis campaigner Carl Wagner, and agree with his remark about state
sponsored terrorism against cannabis consumers.
I have twice had
my door battered open by Humberside police. The second time I was suffering a
sprained knee, and could not walk fast enough to open it.
I have many
medical problems and use cannabis as a natural, safe, effective medicine.
I believe the
police are heavy handed.
Are handcuffs
and shock tactics needed?
Cannabis use is
widespread and does not hurt anyone, no victim, no crime.
Surely there are
more important crimes. Couldn't taxpayer's money be better spent?
Cannabis
consumers are not evil.
I'm not angry
with the police as I know they are just doing a job.
Come on
Humberside Police, be just and tolerant and update your outdated policies towards
cannabis.
