| re upcoming debate in house of parliament, i just came across this article 'Lady Meacher, chair of the all-party parliamentary group for drug policy reform, backed the petition’s aim. She said: “If relatively harmless herbal cannabis were regulated and made available in licensed outlets, this would lead to a reduction in the use of dangerous drugs and would create a safer environment for young people. “Clear labelling would warn against use by those with a mental health family history. And use by children under 18 would be forbidden. The losers would be the drug dealers. “A parliamentary debate would enable the facts and sensible options for reform to be considered. The priority must be the safety of children and young people.”' full story here : http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jul/25/cannabis-legalisation-petition-government-website |
