Given that the vast majority of people drink alcohol, while only a
small pro****tion ever take cannabis, I rather doubt it is 1/10 as
many.
And the suggestion of "800,000" hospitalised is also ridiculous.

How on earth can they honestly suggest they can relate the number of
any of those directly to alcohol I do not know.
Actually, they can't. That is just fundamentally dishonest of the
department of Health.
