CANNABIS LEGISLATION & CONTROL BILL. Part 2

John from Woolston

I recently posted about the above Bill referendum which will be one of two referendums in the upcoming general elections. There were some excellent responses - both for and against which clearly demonstrated there are 2 sides of strong opinions which is democracy in action.
After this exercise, I was feeling uncomfortable as so much of the proposed referendum somehow didn't seem right plus it was contradictory. I couldn't actually put my finger on why I was thinking like that, but yesterday in the Press I read an excellent article by Deborah Stevens & Lynne Bover which provided me with the lightbulb moment and clearly answered what I was feeling. In today's Press letters there is a reinforcing letter written by Dr. David Mitchell of St. Alban's agreeing and commending the 2 ladies and giving his opinions based on evidence and his personal experiences. I recommend that you read the article and letter to the Editor for a different slant on the proposed referendum. In my opinion, they have hit the nail on the head but I would like other viewpoints.
