Users face 'soft' drug's hard truth

THANK God our kids never got into cannabis.

Well, I'm sure they must have experimented with the odd toke or two in their teens, but if they did, it never developed into any kind of habit.

I say thank God because far from being a relatively harmless "soft" drug, evidence has steadily emerged that cannabis has the potential to completely wreck young, developing brains.

Apart from anything else, the cannabis that's readily available these days is a zillion times stronger than the stuff that was passed around student campuses in the Sixties and Seventies.
