Coffeeshop would be a social asset

FOR several years I have been reading the comments concerning the use of
cannabis.

Being neither for or against its recreational use, I attended the recent
conference of the Legalise Cannabis Alliance.

I was surprised to learn that the Dutch government had downgraded soft
drugs in 1975 and, although still illegal, the sale and consumption of
cannabis is officially tolerated in regulated coffee shops.

I feel sure that the opening of a Dutch-style regulated coffee shop in
Norwich would be a social asset to many cannabis users.

Any suggestions that the shop would attract undesirable behaviour or the
problems of night time clubland would, I believe, be totally out of order.
