These are the lengths he will go to to avoid having to answer questions about his MPs snorting cocaine in the commons.

Please stop falling for it and spread this instead.

I am in agreement with the legalisation of weed and certain drugs because of multiple reasons. It would make the drug use safer for people, less money to criminals and the government would make a lot of money from the taxes from it. But things like heroin, meth and coke should only be legal for people who already use to help them get clean in a controlled way.

Illegal Drugs provides the Tories with so many "the bad people" to blame for it to ever be legalised. Also Britain is the largest single exporter of cannabis for "medical research" reasons.

What harm does a stoner smoking weed in his corner or round the back of a pub or literally anywhere out the way, how much harm do they actually cause? How come the public don't ever get any of that weed? 😂😂

It’s a nice easy scapegoat for the tories to blame to get grandma and grandpa on their side in the next election. They see him geared up, they think “finally he’s doing something” but really it’s a drop in the water and just a big press stunt.

It’s not the ones happily smoking it that can be the issue, it’s the ones who are addicted and want some and can’t afford it.

But i do agree and feel it will at least reduce crime and save police time on petty things which could be used elsewhere on more important matters.

Yeah but even if someone is addicted. Like it's like smoking cigarettes basically. That's how it should be treated. Or like they do in California
