"But I am also pleased that Howard Marks will be coming along to chat and sign books as he leaves no doubt which aspect of the plant he represents! "To most people cannabis IS the stuff Howard smokes and that, in fact, is what the law is supposed to be all about. But instead of decreasing smoking, the prohibition has increased it, as well as reducing quality. "The stuff many people smoke - often called "soap bar" is nothing short of disgusting and a real threat to health. The Government are reluctant to tell people that for it is their laws that has created this situation. "And, of course, millions of people still mix it with tobacco, falsely believing that it is cheaper to use that way. We all know the risks of tobacco are many times greater than pure cannabis. "Part of the message we want to get across is 'If you want to smoke cannabis, smoke it pure." The Cannabis Hemp Awareness day is to be held at the University of East Anglia is presented the UEA Students Union Entertainments and is being "jointly" organise by The Legalise Cannabis Alliance and the Campaign to Legalise Cannabis.
