quote from David Davies MP: "I would far rather that young boys took part in boxing than smoke cannabis, for example. It is much better to channel aggression into a controlled sport like boxing than to let it go underground. That would be in nobody’s interest.”

Sirs,

Monmouth MP David Davies has been criticised for his comments about boxing in schools ("Tory MP under fire in row over boxing at school", 9 June)

One thing that Mr Davies said that struck me with some punch: "“I would far rather that young boys took part in boxing than smoke cannabis, for example. It is much better to channel aggression into a controlled sport like boxing than to let it go underground. That would be in nobody’s interest.”

It seems to me that would apply to cannabis as much as boxing - to put / leave either outside the law would be utter nonsense and a disaster - the present law against cannabis proves that.
