Re: ‘Drug trafficking: the global village’

Dear Editor,
Thank you for David Thomas’ clear piece of reporting about drugs.
I am constantly amazed at so-called educated people quoting from that ‘reliable’ source of misunderstanding, the Daily Mail.
Funny thing but I believe Britain is asking Portugal to grow and develop hashish for medical purposes. The climate is good.
In olden days, when I lived in England, I used to grow marijuana from hemp seed, which I obtained from bird seed. I used to sing like a bird after a wee puff – strange as I can’t sing at any other time!
I have in the past worked with drug addicts both of illicit drugs and legal drugs.
