I HOPE the "joint confession" of the eight Tory top guns will make it much easier for other politicians to come our and "just say no" to the costly and ineffective war on cannabis.
It also confirms what pro-cannabis campaigners have been saying for years: cannabis smokers can be found in every section of society and are inspired, industrious individuals, certainly not dangerous, and it's time we stopped treating good people as criminals.
The Legalise Cannabis Alliance and associated organisations would like to further the debate. We propose a series of conferences or seminars on "Cannabis and Human Rights."
We will invite local press, head teachers, police, solicitors, local authority drug workers (drug action teams, social workers etc) trade unions and, of course, the general public.
But we need a little local assistance. We are looking for endorsees to our policy, prestigious venues and sponsors.
If you can help or just want to bring Cannabis Community News to your town contact me by e-mail at DonBarnard@lca-uk.org or write to the Legalise Cannabis Alliance, PO Box 198, Norwich, NR2 2DH.
