Chard TANCZOS AND DRUGS Sir-Like Allen Mourton (May 5), I too have heard Nandor speak and he did not do a very good job of it. Nandor, it appears, is a politician with only one agenda, promoting the legalised use of cannabis. I have a daughter at intermediate school who has just been introduced to the Dare programme. For this I am pleased. Next year she will attend Riccarton High where the principal will not subject her to Nandor's contentious views. For this I am also pleased. It is yet to be proven to me that legalising cannabis will have benefits to the community. That alcohol is legal is not a reason to change legislation. As long as my child is a child I, with the help of her schools, will unashamedly guide and direct her thinking. The signposts do not point in Nandor's direction. S.
