HELP FOR SICK

In reply to the letter from Pat Molynuex (Echo, September 14) where she says
it is irresponsible and wrong to write and publish the book Cannabis for
Lunch.

Can she not see that it is more irresponsible to ignore and not give correct
advice to the thousands of sick people who are experimenting with cannabis
to ease pain and stress?

They are offered little support in their desperate need to ease pain without
side effects.  Using a 5,000 year old medicinal plant as an addition to food
is a basic human right.  I am sorry she feels it is wrong but she remains
part of a small minority who still think the law is correct and effective on
cannabis.  I would say to her that is time to challenge the law and change
it.

It is not an offence to produce such a book or buy it and no-one is advising
you to break the law, as the disclaimers stress.

ERIC, Dorchester.
