In a few cases cannabis has been reported as causing mental health problems. Of maybe the cannabis just brought out what was already there.

Undoubtedly cannabis will affect different people in different ways. For instance some people are allergic to penicillin and other antibiotics. My daughter is allergic to the Novocain that dentists use to ease the pain of fillings and extractions.

But, quite rightly, they don’t ban Novocain just because she has problems with it.

Look at the leaflet that comes with any prescribed medicine. Among other things it will list possible side effects. Yet the drug is still in use and being prescribed.

As I understand it cannabis has progressed, if that’s the right word, to become stronger by the criminal element. They call it skunk don’t they? That is reason enough to take cannabis out of criminal hands.
