The issue of Cannabis Prohibition divides Cabinet opinion today as cannabis campaigners announced a combined 'End the prohibition of Cannabis March' and Carnival on Saturday May 6th, 2000. The event will be part of a worldwide day of pro Cannabis action with over 50 cities in 18 countries confirmed to date. Feb 9.30 am - 12 pm. Cannabis Coalition representatives will be at Downing Street prepared to offer their advice to the Prime Minister, Tony Blair and his colleagues. We advise the Prime Minister that it is only rational to separate a harmless and beneficial herb from the problems associated with hard drugs.
Cannabis prohibition leads to increased hard drug abuse.
The only beneficiaries are a criminal underworld, lawyers and prison officers. The Prime Minister's concern about a confused public message on drugs should be directed to concern about achieving a policy that is effective and realistic. Avoiding the debate is neither.
