DRUG LAWS ARE
PART OF A MORAL CRUSADE
Sir: I was
surprised to see a figure for cannabis deaths at 16 in 2004.
It would be
interesting to see exactly what these deaths were caused by as fatal overdose
from cannabis is impossible; it is not toxic and no single death can be
attributed to it in isolation.
Will the
Government now begin to discuss the illegal drug issues sensibly?
