LISTEN TO THIS MAN

PAUL BETTS claims that hard-drug dealers 'rely on cannabis to get people
hooked.' Has it not occurred to him that cannabis users come into contact
with pushers of hard drugs only because cannabis is illegal and the market
is controlled by the same criminals who would rather sell hard drugs?

The Dutch system of licensed coffee shops has done an excellent job of
insulating cannabis users from hard-drug pushers.
