To The Point Hugh Robertson Letters, Scotland On Sunday Saturday 14 Jul 2001 IT is gratifying finally to see a senior Tory calling for the legalisation of cannabis. Especially so as it is less than a year since Ann Widdecombe showed how out of touch some of their front bench was when she called for zero tolerance. Between now and the next general election the Tories will have time to properly review the evidence and realise what a social disaster cannabis prohibition has been. Poll after poll has shown that the British public of all ages are against current policy, while polls of the young show strong support for full legalisation. These younger people are the very same people who are least likely to have voted in the election. The fact that none of the main parties proposed changing the cannabis law was not the only reason that so many young people didn't vote - but it certainly didn't help. Hugh Robertson, Norwich
