The Journals comment on the cannabis granny
Patricia Tabram was disgusting, the points made were very biased and not very
truthful.
Most cannabis "dealers" DO NOT
also have speed, cocaine & heroin in fact quite the opposite and I'm afraid
that if you think Granny Pat or any other cannabis user is a terrorist then you
are very much confused. Cannabis users are generally very peaceful people and a
lot of them are medi users like Pat and her friends.
Granny Pat and others like her are not sophisticated
drug dealers, just people who have taken control of their ailments and
medicine, a medicine that they are "deprived" of because of the
governments indecision and inability to listen, a medicine that has been used
for millions of years and has been proven to work with very little side effect
if any.
It is never "right" to arrest and
lock up ill, old and disabled people, Hitler did that you know.
No one has ever died from cannabis
poisoning, it has no lethal deadly dose.
It is not irresponsible of the LCA to
support Granny Pat, it's irresponsible to waste tax payers money on cases where
there is no victim and the accused's only crime is to want to be well. GW
pharmaceuticals has been doing "proper" research into cannabis for a
number of years and have found cannabis has many healing properties, it even
looks like cannabis can rejuvenate nerve endings.
Cannabis is a bit of a miracle herb that has
been put in the hands of criminals because of prohibition, there should be an
immediate amnesty on medi users of cannabis, it might help stop this silly
waste of time and money.
Yours sincerely
