Letter: Despotic Position

Hugh Robertson

The Scotsman

Sunday 25 May 1997

Sir,
- In your editorial, "Kirk in cloud-cuckoo land" (20 May) you say "the Government's position is unequivocal and right". It appears to me it is you who are unaware of the facts, and not the Kirk.

The Government is so set in its position, it has said it will not decriminalise, or legalise, cannabis even if that were the recommendations of a Royal Commission. How can you blindly support a Government that takes such a despotic position, especially in light of recommendations of numerous reports in the past?

The Scottish Affairs Report 1994, Baroness Wooton's report, the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission Report and the Consumers Report on Licit and Illicit Drugs are just a few that recommend an end to the failed attempted prohibition of cannabis.
