LEGALISING CANNABIS

SIR - Legalisation would enable cannabis to be used in ways that many
people find beneficial - from relief of pain or symptoms of multiple
sclerosis to general relaxation. That could help many millions of people
who could grow their own medicines at home.

Cannabis crimes are victimless crimes. The cultivation, possession and
even supply are not hurtful or malicious acts and people ought not to be
punished. Anyone who needs help should be referred to doctors or
psychiatrists, not policemen and lawyers. Other users need the protection
of the law.
