Letter: War on drugs is war on our people
Steve Clements, Legalise Cannabis Alliance York Evening Press
Wednesday 01 Jun 2005 IAN Drury's excellent article hit the nail on the head (May 27). In Holland cannabis was decriminalised and rates of use among teenagers is less than half of the UK. Prohibition of cannabis is one of the biggest mistakes in British legal history. Now, judges have decided that the defence of medical necessity is inadmissible. So, dying MS sufferers, cancer and HIV sufferers and disabled people, all of whom may use cannabis as a more effective remedy than many of the man-made toxic pharmaceuticals, will face arrest and imprisonment. This `war on drugs' heralded by Mr Blair and his cronies is a war on our own people. My resolve to fight governments' and certain tabloids' downright lies and misinformation is strengthened by this ruling, which is clearly indicative of our corrupt system. They have now ensured the criminalisation of sick people in a way only Tony Blair could achieve. Prohibition is a lie. Our planet, our plant, our rights.
