Duncan Note: Parenthetical remark by the Sun editor; headline by newshawk. OUT OF TOUCH ROY CLANCY must be very happy he can quote whichever portion of a report that he likes to further his own prohibitionist agenda. ("Don't let pot in out of the cold" July 21.) Can Clancy tell us it is okay 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 (On the other hand, the percentage who use it regularly is far smaller) - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
