More marijuana

More marijuana

Sir,

Thank you for sending me the copy of Salient in which my letter is printed.

I have perused the whys and wherefores of the AGM and SRC with regard to marijuana, and wonder how students who think it right to legalise it reconcile their assertions that it is not in the same class as hard drugs with the desire to see its "controlled use". Also I do not believe that any law will deter any blackmail, because it is always up to the individual victim concerned to prove himself non-cowardly in the final analysis. But I also take this opportunity of expressing my admiration for the individual stand of the NZU representative Bob Burgess in refusing to join the 1970 All Black tour to South Africa. That is character.

V.M. Downey (Mrs)
