Drugs and other
Advantages
Letter to The Financial Times
The House of Commons was invited to debate the granting of
permission to use marijuana ''over the counter''. I believe England
should ask itself the following questions:
Did we assume that marijuana is healthy? Contributes
to the individual? Has no side effects? If so, we could conclude that England
is advancing in this matter, and we all would be proud of the latest
development and contribution to society.
Alas, if we should assume, as we should, that the reason the
House of Parliament was invited to permit the usage of marijuana is
because the law enforcement agencies cannot fight this plague; that society
cannot prevent the addiction, then before the House of Parliament makes a
decision, it should face the mirror and declare that England has failed.
Society is not advancing, but retreating; surrendering to a weakness in society
which will result in irreversible damage to the body and spirit of the
individual and to society at large.
The challenge is not only in the drug itself, but the
atmosphere in England is retreating. The age of drinking and smoking is younger
every year. Crime advances, and The House of Parliament should not contribute
to this phenomenon. Let the elected individuals of the United Kingdom put a
stop to this deterioration. Say No To Drugs today, thus keeping England
healthy tomorrow.
Sincerely yours,
Zalli Jaffe, Jerusalem.
