Press Release: Warning! Danger! Adulterated cannabis bud
Legalise Cannabis Alliance Legalise Cannabis Alliance
Tuesday 21 Nov 2006 The Legalise Cannabis Alliance (LCA) is concerned over the recent spate of contaminated cannabis reportedly being sold across Britain. Alun Buffry, a spokesman for the LCA, said: "Over the years, there has been more and more obnoxious cannabis products containing who-knows-what, on the streets, often relatively inexpensive. We've seen "soap bar" (supposedly Moroccan) containing everything from wax to animal turds; we've had "Squiggy Black" (supposedly from Pakistan) that I wouldn't like to even think about, and now we have cannabis "bud" containing some sort of ground up grit, sand or glass. "Cannabis, as we know, is outside of the control of the law so little can be done, but we need to warn people of this serious risk to health, not from cannabis, but from contaminates and adulterants added to boost profits. "The health risks from contaminates are doubtless greater than those for pure cannabis - for everyone, not just the vulnerable. The recent round of arrests of growers has indeed created a shortage, I'm told, but along with it has come this new problem and risk - when there's a shortage some people will buy whatever is offered and there's often no way to take it back. "We cannot just sit and wait for the Government to legalise this popular plant and allow some sort of consumer protection and taxation on profits - we need to warn people now. "If a buyer is not sure of good quality - leave it out. If people stop buying it, the unscrupulous dealers will have to stop selling it" Alun Buffry Legalise Cannabis Alliance http://www.lca-uk.org
