Duncan Note: Parenthetical remark by the Sun editor; headline by newshawk Referenced: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v02/n1339/a10.html PROHIBITIONIST AGENDA Roy Clancy must be very happy he can quote whichever portion of a report that he likes to further his own prohibitionist agenda. ("Smoked out," July 17.) Can Clancy tell us it is OK for a person's life to be ruined, their prospects for travel and employment limited, because they decided to try a less harmful alternative to alcohol? Clancy is kidding himself that cannabis use is not wanted by society. How else would he explain survey results indicating that up to 50% of the population has tried cannabis? He is sadly out of touch and incredibly arrogant. Grant G.O. Duncan (But how many use it on a regular basis?) - --- MAP posted-by: Ariel
