Letter: Cannabis clash
Kirk Muse S Yorkshire Evening Post
Monday 07 Jan 2008 I'm writing about the not-so-thoughtful letter from Aled Jones (Alcohol is the puppy compared to cannabis, December 22). http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v07/n1489/a09.html?246737 Here in the United States, our annual alcohol vs. cannabis kill ratio is about 100,000 to zero. In the 5,000-year history, there have never been any documented deaths from its use. So where is the danger from the natural herb? advertisement Smoking cannabis is not good for the lungs, but it does not cause cancer because it lacks nicotine - the prime cancer-causing ingredient of tobacco. If Mr Jones feels cannabis is dangerous he is free to not use it. I don't drink tea because I don't like it. However, I don't advocate that tea consumers be arrested and jailed for using it. I'd like to suggest that Mr Jones adopt a similar attitude toward cannabis. Kirk Muse S. Clearview Avenue.
