Conservative PCCs. ‘Cannabis: Just a Bit of Weed or a Class A Drug?’ Never has a fearmongering campaign backfired so badly.
Reportedly ‘laughed off the stage”, the meeting has been met with universal ridicule. It’s quite clear to anybody that trying to clamp down on cannabis wouldn’t work, it would just increase the harms of the criminal market. Also, even the Home Office’s own research shows that increasing penalties has no impact at all on drug use.
Perhaps most worrying of all is the health scares the PCCs were trying to push come from the Australian doctor, Professor Stuart Reece, who is a member of the evangelical, fundamentalist Christian group ‘Drug Free Australia‘. Prof. Reece has a record of 25 heroin addicts dying while under his care in less than two years. He also gave evidence to the Australian parliament that it was the “immoral policies that permitted condoms (which were) the real cause behind AIDS”.
When will these foolish people learn the truth that is repeatedly proven and reinforced by experience?
