LAWS HAVE GONE TO POT

DON Barnard (Postbag, Wednesday) maps the questionable paths over
the cannabis debate.

I have been visiting Amsterdam for several years, and have never
witnessed one incident of trouble, let alone violence.

The cannabis laws are unquestionably idiotic, and if Switzerland or
Portugal are mature enough to legalise the drug, then so should Britain.

If drugs are banned then this by any aspect has to include alcohol and
tobacco.

Legal action is not about fines and reclassification, it's about the
law making criminals of people who have never harmed anyone, yet get a
criminal conviction for a joint.

Hardly anoints the justice system today, does it?
