Sir, There are letters today under the heading "Legalise cannabis to
stop crime". There is also a report on the rise in deaths from hard
drug use.

Do schools realise that when they threaten drug tests, some students
move straight on from the relatively harmless cannabis to the
infinitely more dangerous cocaine and heroin which are less likely to
be detected in such tests?
