Letters - HARMLESS DOPE

Antony Alexander (letter, 6 March) fears the demotivating and dispiriting
effect of cannabis on regular users. He couldn't be more wrong. A year ago I
had the pleasure of living for a time with a Moroccan farmer and his family.
He and his co-workers smoked dope from dawn till dusk and had done so for
years. They showed no lack of motivation and were great fun to get to know.
