WAR ON DRUGS IS WAR ON OUR PEOPLE

IAN Drury's excellent article hit the nail on the head (May 27). In
Holland cannabis was decriminalised and rates of use among teenagers
is less than half of the UK.

Prohibition of cannabis is one of the biggest mistakes in British
legal history.

Now, judges have decided that the defence of medical necessity is
inadmissible.

So, dying MS sufferers, cancer and HIV sufferers and disabled people,
all of whom may use cannabis as a more effective remedy than many of
the man-made toxic pharmaceuticals, will face arrest and imprisonment.
This 'war on drugs' heralded by Mr Blair and his cronies is a war on
our own people.

My resolve to fight governments' and certain tabloids' downright lies
and misinformation is strengthened by this ruling, which is clearly
indicative of our corrupt system.

They have now ensured the criminalisation of sick people in a way only
Tony Blair could achieve.

Prohibition is a lie. Our planet, our plant, our rights.
