SIMPLE FACTS

To the Editor of The York Press:

Sirs, thanks for publishing Steve Clements' thoughtful letter: 
"Cannabis facts" (28 Dec).  I'd like to add that the annual world 
wide tobacco-vs-cannabis kill ratio is about 4.5 million to zero.

So why is cannabis a criminalised substance and not tobacco? (Other 
than because lots of people, organizations and institutions make lots 
of money because of cannabis criminalisation).
