POTHEADS ARE THE LEAST OF THE POLICE'S WORRIES

I Can sympathise with pro-cannabis campaigner Carl Wagner, and agree
with his remark about state sponsored terrorism against cannabis consumers.

I have twice had my door battered open by Humberside police. The
second time I was suffering a sprained knee, and could not walk fast
enough to open it.

I have many medical problems and use cannabis as a natural, safe,
effective medicine.

I believe the police are heavy handed.

Are handcuffs and shock tactics needed?

Cannabis use is widespread and does not hurt anyone, no victim, no
crime.

Surely there are more important crimes. Couldn't taxpayer's money be
better spent?

Cannabis consumers are not evil.

I'm not angry with the police as I know they are just doing a
job.

Come on Humberside Police, be just and tolerant and update your
outdated policies towards cannabis.

Mars Bilters,

Richard Cooper Street,

Goole.
