DRUG LAWS ARE PART OF A MORAL CRUSADE

Sir: I was surprised to see a figure for cannabis deaths at
16 in 2004. It would be interesting to see exactly what
these deaths were caused by as fatal overdose from cannabis
is impossible; it is not toxic and no single death can be
attributed to it in isolation. Will the Government now begin
to discuss the illegal drug issues sensibly?
