Summary
Former Chief Constable Paul Whitehouse in his confusing letter of December 27 makes use of the overused argument that, if my position is correct, 'then alcohol should be banned tomorrow'. Sorry Mr Whitehouse, this has nothing to do with the issue on cannabis. We are, you seem to forget, talking about a drug, which, ever increasing evidence shows is a primary cause of psychoses, schizophrenia and other mental health problems, legalising it will do nothing to save the lives and sanity of the people who use it.
Paul Whitehouse is a member of the 'Transform Drug Policy Foundation' along with Chief Constable of North Wales, Richard Brunstrom who only a few days ago was ridiculed in the press for saying that 'ecstasy was less harmful than aspirin'. Members of the TDPF all express 'appeasing views' based on a desire to remove controlled drug legislation with the weird theory that such action would destroy the illegal market and take the profit out of it. Several letters have been published by Alun Buffry who, along with Dylis Wood who started off this exchange, is a member of LCA. (Legalise Cannabis Alliance). Mr Buffry spends a large part of his time campaigning on the subject of legalising cannabis to the point of obsession and in one letter even confuses myself with Mr Cope from Tunstall, (oh dear!). Mr Cope shares similar views to myself over these matters and comes in for criticism from Mr Buffry as a result. This, despite Mr Cope's compassionate views in that he does not object to cannabis being used for medicinal purposes, and also clearly has had a very close association with a tragic family circumstance arising out of cannabis use.See the full content of this document
