"Think this is a great site for mothers/fathers, carers to share their stories.  I have a 19 year old son and for the past two years have been living a life of hell.  Things have now escalated and he has now moved out.  I hate cannabis, and think that instead of it being classified at a Class C drug, it should in fact go up to a Class B.  It changes teenagers into people we don't know or even want to know, who we are frightened of and who damage property.  This was once an inner city problem, not any more it is so common.  Instead of catching motorists maybe the police should concentrate of getting rid of weed!"

I watched you on GMTV and want to say thank you for trying to make people aware that cannabis KILLS. I have put a little bit about what happened to our family on your stories site. Also, I live up in the North of Scotland and would like to talk to other families who have had cannabis destroy their children's lives. I believe you are trying to get people to talk to each other. if any one lives up in my area please put them in contact with me. I do hope you get William back one day its too late for me.
Regards Maureen [Phills Mam] Thurso, Caithness Scotland." Read Maureen's story
