ILLEGAL THERAPY

Further to the comments by Mary Wilkinson regarding cannabis use by
disabled people (Mail), I'm a disabled person who occasionally uses
cannabis to relieve pain.

My first thoughts on hearing Anne Widdicombe's statement about fining
people for possession of any amount of cannabis was: "I hope she has a lot
of wheelchair-accessible prisons."

She would need them for all the disabled people who take cannabis for
therapeutic reasons and who could not pay a $100 fine for possession.

If I were arrested for possession of one joint, I would be prepared to go
to prison, I do not consider myself to be a drug addict. I am a patient
taking a therapeutic remedy that works.

I pray that Ms Widdicombe never finds herself in a position in which she
would benefit by taking this drug in order to relieve life-long pain.
