UK: Toke That star in pot row
E Cox The Sun
Thursday 22 Nov 2007 TAKE THAT star HOWARD DONALD was blasted yesterday — after demanding that cannabis be made legal. The singer, 39, shocked parents by insisting the drug was safer than alcohol. Howard — who is recovering after his lung collapsed while on tour in Milan — declared: “Cannabis should be legalised. “I know it’s a touchy subject. But if more people went out stoned than drunk — which a lot of people are on the weekend — I think there would be less fighting, less trouble and less violence.” Anti-drugs campaigners slammed the hunk’s “irresponsible” comments. Gail McCann, of Mothers Against Drugs, said: “Anyone who tells you cannabis is perfectly safe is talking rubbish. It can cause psychosis and paranoia. “I’d like Take That to see the work we do and ask if they’d like to donate some of the millions they earn to drug treatment.” Howard issued his potty plea as Take That made plans for a New Year gig, which will be screened on ITV. He and bandmates have admitted smoking cannabis when the group first got together. Howard said: “We dabbled with Ecstasy and liked the odd spliff, but who doesn’t?” GARY BARLOW was so depressed when the group split he smoked up to 15 joints a day. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article496517.ece
