ANOTHER CASE FOR CANNAABIS

Sir, As someone who suffers from MS, I cannot help but feel an omission in
the current debate

For years we who suffer MS have known the various positive and negative
attributes of the plant. Do people think we are reckless? We consult fellow
users, our doctors and consultants. Knowing the dangers, we inhale or
digest as much as we need to from the flower bud only.

In the light of the present movement to legalise, can there be a place for
open discussion whilst we ponder legalisation? It would be good to be able
to discuss openly with our doctors and consultants, rather than whispering
behind our hands, and begin to have an active role in our treatment plans.
Legalise cannabis by all means for medical purposes, but in the meantime can
we have an open forum to discuss our independent needs with those who care
for us?
