Letter: Could cannabis be a source of vital cash?

Tina Smith

Evening News, Norwich

Wednesday 20 May 1992

----
RECENTLY I have seen letters in the Evening News and articles in the
Press about the legalisation of cannabis.

I have also seen many reports of starving people, in particular the
adults and children of Africa.

It has occurred to me that cannabis has not been shown to be as harmful
as legal and prescribed drugs like tobacco and alcohol. Cannabis, which
basically grows worldwide as a prolific weed, could be grown as a cash
crop by these people for export to the rich western world.

The income generated from this could be used to purchase some of the
excess food produced by the West and presently stored or destroyed.

This could feed many millions of these downtrodden and presently
helplessly suffering people.

Can someone please explain why this idea has not been discussed, or
mentioned at all, by our politicians, who certainly appear concerned by
this worldwide disaster?
