Peter Dunne's response to the sick.


Peter Dunne's response to the sick.

Dear Peter Dunne,

I saw your response to a very moving letter from Greg Soar describing the terrible side-effects of HIV/AIDS medication. To quote your whole message:

"This garbage is not worth replying to"

I'm shocked at your callous disregard for the suffering of a fellow human being. I hope that, should you ever need to ask for the help and support of others, you can find someone less moralistic and inhumane than yourself to turn to.

Mr Soar wrote you a sincere and heartfelt letter, asking for your help. Turning him down graciously and stating your reasons for doing so would have been understandable, you are after all entitled to hold your own opinions on medicinal cannabis, although I must say I can't agree with you. Insulting him, and describing his letter as garbage? That is beneath contempt.

Yours Sincerely,

Oliver Thompson - NZ

p.s. No I'm not a social pot user looking for back door decriminalisation.
