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? Steve Clements York - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
