White 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. Mr. P. White Oldham, Lancashire. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Stevens
