Letter: Drug talk ban would be sadistic
Don Barnard Evening News, Norwich, UK
Tuesday 29 Feb 2000 DRUG TALK BAN WOULD BE SADISTIC IN YOUR article "Cannabis party to hold first conference in city" (February 16) Acting Assistant Chief Constable Colin Langham-Fitt said: "This organisation (Legalise Cannabis Alliance) has the right to campaign for a change to the law through democratic means." But how long will we be able to do this? Because if the UK continues to follow the nutty US anti-drug policy there is a distinct possibility it will soon be illegal to talk about cannabis. The Internet has become a powerful weapon in the hands of the cannabis law reformers such as the CLCIA and LCA to expose the Government's propaganda in the cannabis war. But this use of the Internet has not gone unnoticed in the USA (the paymasters of the anti-cannabis war.) In November 1999 the US Senate passed the "Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act of 1999" Bill which seeks to make it illegal to provide any information online about cannabis. Senator Hatch described his bill as a weapon in the drug war: "this bill furnishes the means for our ongoing battle against hose who manufacture and sell illicit drugs. Perhaps even more important, this Bill underscores our unwavering commitment to win this battle." Now, I can live with depenalisation even prohibition, but smoking cannabis and not be allowed to talk about it - now that's sadistic. Don Barnard Aetheric Road Braintree, Essex
