HOW MUCH LONGER MUST WE SUFFER THIS STALLING?

This Governments politically motivated stalling tactics on the medical use 
of cannabis (letters Daily Express , Jan 10 ) is the biggest scandal in 
Britain today.

Many American states have already legalised the medical use of cannabis, 
the Canadian Government is issuing exemptions to qualifying patients and 
Belgium has also legalised the medical use of cannabis in the last two weeks.

The Government has no more excuses. Implementing the recommendations of the 
Runciman report by rescheduling cannabis to class C is all that is required 
to get cannabis to those that need it.

TONY BLAIR should be held personally responsible for the suffering of 
people like Lezley Gibson and Kate Bradley.
