In response to the letter from Rob Young (LT, December 20) calling for criminality to be taken out of cannabis use – Mr Young should take a good look at the front page of the same day’s paper and take note of the list of morons and no-hopers convicted of dealing and passing drugs and making a living and lining their pockets with the results.
The sentences they were given were just, and if it was up to me I would have doubled them.
These people have got what they deserve and no matter what it cost to bring them to justice, it was worth it.
The police are doing a good job in rounding up these parasites but do-gooders put their oars in and interfere with the hard work they are doing.
When these people get to jail they should be given a ife of hell so that when they get out they will say to themselves: “No way am I going back to jail ever again.”
