Letter: 'Criminals' now making the laws

'Criminals' now making the laws

SO NOW we know both the city's MPs have used cannabis. But the fact
that as things stand, they and all the other MPs who have come out clean
about their us of this plant in the past could be classed as "criminals."

It is certainly unacceptable that one of these "criminals", Norwich
South MP Charles Clarke, is partly responsible for the continued
existence of the law he ignored in the past.

There are cannabis users, or past users, in every section of the
economy, many in high-level jobs which they do very well. Again, as
things stand, these perfectly able people are also "criminals."

If ever there was a clear cut indication that a law has failed, this has
to be it and it's now time to accept that cannabis has to be legalised
and brought under proper, workable controls.
