Janet I wonder do you drink alcohol or smoke tobacco? Have you tried


cannabis, and do you feel that making it illegal for tax reasons is a


good idea, bearing in mind how much more damaging the popular legal


drugs are, and how much they cost the taxpayer every year in terms of


healthcare issues?






No never drink, don't like alcohol taste, and never smoked. Not tried

cannabis either but have a friend who has fairly advanced MS and a fair

bit of pain.



Cars have a lot of tax on them and I suspect in side issues they also

cost the taxpayer lots of money in terms of health care.

If you have a friend with MS, then you might know first hand how effective the relief provided by cannabis is?

The main reason cannabis is illegal is due to the ease it can be cultivated at home. If it was legal this would put those pedalling alcohol and tobacco out of business pretty much overnight, which would mean a lot tax to finance wars, and to bail out corrupt bankers.............
