UK: The aroma of cannabis is a regular occurrence on our city streets

Have you noticed walking round most cities, be it London, Birmingham, Manchester - even our own city of Liverpool, these days it's as common as getting a bus, shopping, buying a paper.

What am I talking about? The smell of marijuana. It's around every corner and it seems to be getting more potent.

People appear to have no intention of hiding the fact that they're smoking a joint.

I recently had lunch in a fabulous hotel in one of these cities. We were sitting outside on a beautiful summers day in a magnificent restaurant.

There was a walkway on the other side of a high fence and people walking by were smoking weed.

I mentioned it to the staff - they laughed and said, “It's a regular occurrence”.

One waiter said, “Today's smell is a better quality than yesterdays”. We all laughed.

I have quite a few friends that smoke a joint. Some do it every day.

I never question it as it's not my business. The only experience I've had with marijuana is at catering college - a hundred years ago.

I used to smoke cigarettes and a pipe, which I gave up as I loved clothes so much, and couldn’t afford both.

So back to the wacky baccy story. Four of us decided to get some grass and we all baked cakes to try it, rather than smoke it.

Imagine if our lecturers at catering college would have found out. We’d have been expelled and I'm sure the police would have been brought in.

I took my beautifully cooked fruit cake home, which was laced heavily with hashish. I then went out to a mate’s.

I totally forgot mum was playing Whist with two of my aunties. I came home and to my horror, and amusement, the cake had been eaten and the three of them were laughing, giggling and bouncing off the walls.

Mum thought her beautiful son had made the cake especially for them. I never told them what had happened but I was a little bit miffed as they hadn’t saved me any.

Next week I want to explore what would happen if it was legal in this country as it is legal in some states of America.
