CANNABIS USERS MUST FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF ILLEGALITY

I Would like to reply to the criticism's made of me by Alexander Donis
(Letters, February 11).

In response to the suggestion that I failed to take certain fundamental
points into account I would like to say that I feel it is Mr Donis who has
missed the point entirely.

I did not, as suggested, attack cannabis user Carl Wagner personally, nor
did I express any dislike for him. I merely gave an opinion based on the
facts, which are (like it or not) cannabis is an illegal drug and as such
carries the risk of arrest.

I then went on to say that those who "intentionally" go against the law
must accept the consequences of their actions and not blame other people
for their unfortunate distress.

At no point did I express any personal beliefs about cannabis and the laws
surrounding its use and as such feel that Mr Donis' criticism of me is
unjust to say the very least.
