Drugs laws don t work

Hugh Robertson

Letters, The Guardian

Sunday 08 Jul 2001

It is gratifying to see a senior Tory calling for the legalisation of cannabis, less than a year since Ann Widdecombe called for zero tolerance (Lilley calls for off-licenses to sell soft drugs, July 6). The Tories now have time to properly review the evidence and realise what a social disaster cannabis prohibition has been. Poll after poll has shown that the public of all ages are against current policy, whilst polls of the young show strong support for full legalisation. These are the same people who are least likely to have voted. The fact that none of the main parties proposed changing the cannabis law was not the only reason so many young people didn't vote - but it certainly didn't help.
