Dear Sir,

Although I feel it’s hypocritical that a person caught with a little bit of ‘weed’ should be on the ‘Stop List’ when not only is the plant legal in Denver/Seattle, but the police simply do a ‘slap on the wrist’ penalty for any tourist who gets caught in Bermuda (if you’re going to penalise a local individual, that tourist ought to be penalised as well), if people legalise that ‘drug’ what happens then?

Obviously, there ought to be restrictions as to where a person can use that stuff and, because the chemical imbalance THC is found in it, wouldn’t that be harmful if it got into the lungs of somebody who’s possibly allergic to the scent or has breathing problems? (After all, there’s always the possibility ‘genuine weed smokers’ will have a field day then).

There’s a lot you need to rectify, especially as Bermuda’s a lot different than one or two places in the United States (how many people are going to just use it as a medicine and not ‘smoke’ the stuff?)
