CANDIDATES USED CANNABIS

Calder Valley election hopefuls all admitted using cannabis when they 
appeared at a public meeting in Brighouse last night.

They were discussing reviewing laws surrounding drugs including cannabis.

Mr Philip Lockwood, Legalise Cannabis Alliance, said he used it and many 
people did for medicinal purposes but more surprisingly the other 
candidates then made their confessions. Conservative candidate Mrs Sue 
Catling and Liberal Democrat Mr Michael Taylor smoked it at university and 
Mrs CHris McCafferty, Labour, sheepishly admitted eating it - apparently it 
was put in a cake at a party she attended a long time ago.
