Letter: Mo Mowlam honest about drugs
Alun Buffry The Scotsman
Wednesday 19 Jan 2000 Mo Mowlam honest about drugs So Mo Mowlam has admitted that she smoked cannabis in the past (your report, 17 January). That makes four MPs who have admitted having tried cannabis. What is perhaps more surprising is the number of MPs who went to college, including the Home Secretary, Jack Straw, who have denied it. Mo Mowlam should be congratulated for her honesty at least, but her experience was many moons ago and is hardly likely to help her to relate to modern-day cannabis smokers or hard drug addicts. The government's responsibility ought to be to protect drug addicts and cannabis smokers from the dealers who sell dubious quality products without any safety advice, the cause of so many drug problems. The sooner ministers recognise drugs should be an issue of health and not law, the sooner the drugs problems will be solved. Let's get away from this "tackling drugs together" attitude and start tacking the individual substances according to their individual dangers. ALUN BUFFRY
