KILLING OUR KIDS WITH CANNABIS

Sir-Bruce Logan (February 28) says it all on the dangers of cannabis and
its decriminalisation. The Press is to be congratulated for giving
prominence to the other sobering side of this issue, and to giving balance
to the strident calls of the liberals to decriminalise.

I fear, however, that it is all too late and the silent majority will
remain silent until they too are stoned out of their little minds.

Poor New Zealand. If we could only apply the same sort of ardour and
determination to this serious problem as we do to our sport. But then
again, who really cares if we are killing our kids with cannabis?
