Letter: Priorities wrong on use of cannabis

Alun Buffry

Evening News, Norwich

Thursday 05 Mar 1992

CAN someone please help me to understand?

Every year 110,000 deaths in Britain are attributed to tobacco use.
Every year 50,000 people die from alcohol abuse, and daily violent
crimes occur due to alcohol.

Yet both are legally imported and sold under licence.

There are no deaths attributed to cannabis use, little illness and very
few crimes of violence.

Yet cannabis is illegal and perpetual offenders in possession, or those
involved with importation or supply of cannabis, can be fined and/or
imprisoned.

The question is: should alcohol and tobacco be made illegal and cannabis
be legalised?

Come on, Britain. Ease the suffering caused by the law's treatment of
otherwise harmless and law-abiding cannabis users and suppliers.
