DON'T BE LED TO BELIEVE CANNABIS IS A SOFT DRUG

I READ the comments on David Blunkett's plan to downgrade cannabis to class
C (News, July 10) - and I used to think he was a clever man.

Don't you believe for one moment that cannabis is soft. I have never tried
it myself, but am losing a once-cheerful, loving, laughing son, who is a
cannabis addict. Don't be fooled into believing it's not addictive, it
causes all kinds of problems and disorders . My son is paranoid,
argumentative and has lost his lovely personality. Most of all we have lost
him - he spends all his days smoking this dangerous weed. He has a permanent
severe rasping cough and worst of all, he is incoherent and just "gone"
after a smoke. I have lost a son to cannabis .
