Evidence that `miracle herb' has numerous benefits
Lezley Gibson Letters, Newcastle Journal
Sunday 10 Apr 2005 THE Journal's comment on the cannabis granny Patricia Tabram was disgusting. The points made were very biased and not very truthful. Most cannabis dealers do not also have speed, cocaine and heroin - in fact quite the opposite - and I'm afraid that if you think Granny Pat or any other cannabis user is a terrorist then you are very much confused. Cannabis users are generally very peaceful people and a lot of them are medical users like Pat and her friends. Granny Pat and others like her are not sophisticated drug dealers, just people who have taken control of their ailments and medicine, a medicine that they are deprived of because of the Government's indecision and inability to listen, a medicine that has been used for millions of years and has been proven to work with very few side effects, if any. It is never right to arrest and lock up ill, old and disabled people. No one has ever died from cannabis poisoning, it has no lethal deadly dose. It is not irresponsible of the Legalise Cannabis Alliance to support Granny Pat - it is irresponsible to waste tax payers money on cases where there is no victim and the accused's only crime is to want to be well. GW pharmaceuticals has been doing `proper' research into cannabis for a number of years and have found cannabis has many healing properties, it even looks like cannabis can rejuvenate nerve endings. Cannabis is a bit of a miracle herb that has been put in the hands of criminals because of prohibition. There should be an immediate amnesty on medical users of cannabis, it might help stop this silly waste of time and money. LEZLEY GIBSON, Alston, Cumbria.
