Letter: Don't be fooled by drug myths
---
Regarding cannabis use, T Cope says: "The justice system has done
nothing to deter anyone" (The Sentinel, December 5: 'This dreadful drug
just destroys lives') yet seems to favour the present system over
legalisation, citing claims that suggest most cannabis users go on to
take hard drugs, and more young people have taken cannabis since
downgrading. Neither is true. Most cannabis users suffer no bad effects,
and many experience health improvements. Can't T Cope see it is
pointless advocating a prohibition policy that has failed? Dilys Wood
was right to suggest legalisation ('Cannabis must be made legal', The
Sentinel, December 3).
