Pubdate: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 Date: 09/17/1999 Source: Dorset Echo (UK) Author: Eric 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.
