CANNABIS

I would like to add my voice to the wave of support for a change in
the Cannabis law after the outrageous speech of Ann Widdicombe.  An
unbelievable attack on Cannabis users.

She has obviously no knowledge of drugs and there use, and I can only
suggest that if the Conservatives really wish to impose such a law
then they ought to direct it towards alcohol and not cannabis. I am
sure there isn't many who would disagree if they have witnessed the
devastation of the Saturday nights boozing in our towns and city's
where the police are left to sort out what the rest of us gladly have
nothing to do with, as millions of us are at home, quietly getting
stoned.
