Be careful about wasting your money on canna oil

With reference to the letter, “Alarmed at views in dagga letter" (November 7), dagga may have medical benefits, but I believe that anything you smoke is not healthy for your body.

The argument is that you can use it as canna oil.

Be careful when you waste your money on buying “canna oil” as you won’t have proof where it was processed and if maybe old motor oil was added.

The writer claims video clips show a boy and another person healed by canna oil.

I do not know if you drink it or is it rubbed on your body, but I know you’ll be “high” and you won’t feel the pain because of your intoxication.

The new in thing is undisciplined people sowing dagga seeds in their home gardens.

We as parents will not be able to convince our kids or adult kids not to smoke dagga if we plant it at home and use the excuse that it’s for medicine.

We all need to educate ourselves on drug use and abuse, and visit drug rehabilitation centres to witness what drugs do to the body and to households.

Dagga mostly is mixed with other drug substances with the sole aim of getting you “high”.

The writer ends off his letter saying that there’s not a single record that lists dagga as the cause of death.

He should rather educate his smoking friends to stop this bad habit immediately, educate himself on drug abuse and know that dagga smoking is harmful to the body.

I pray that he does not have any children who will fall into that habit and I beg if there’s any weed in his yard, that he’ll be disciplined to kill the weed. R E Saptoe Port Elizabeth
