REFERRING to your front-page article about drugs on July 24.

Does nobody realise that it is now harder to obtain cannabis than heroin? Most of the cracking down on drug dealers appears to have been on cannabis dealers, which has left the door wide open for heroin to be more readily available.

Cannabis has never killed anybody and cannot be injected into the bloodstream like the highly addictive heroin.

For all our kids' sakes, PLEASE could we start tackling the real problem drugs - the class A killers.
