OUR politicians do it again, announcing a proposed five-gramme limit for
possession of cannabis. An evening's pleasure to millions of otherwise
law-abiding citizens, a possible prison term for tens of thousands of them.
Solvent abuse causes brain damage, and is the most likely cause of death
amongst illicit drug use. I propose we make all solvents illegal and imprison
anyone for up to 14 years if caught with a can of lighter fluid!
After all, the government isn't showing much concern for people's health on
that one, is it?
If our drug laws weren't so stupid, corrupted by corporate greed, and involved
some idea of sense and reality, then the scenario above would just be a joke,
but I'm afraid the public are being conned if they believe cannabis is illegal
because of the harm it can do.
