UK: Socialists want cafes for cannabis

The Telegraph

Saturday 19 May 2001

---
THE Scottish Socialist Party yesterday called for the introduction of
Dutch-style coffee shops in Scotland which would be licensed to sell cannabis.
It issued the demand as part of its policy on drugs which included the
legalisation of cannabis for both medical and recreational purposes. The
party, which is contesting all 72 Scottish seats in the general election,
also called for heroin to be prescribed on the NHS.

Kevin Williamson, the party's drugs spokesman, who has advised the
Government on cannabis, said: "We are the only party in the election with a
policy that will succeed on drugs. The SSP will also argue for heroin to be
prescribed under the NHS on a treatment programme.

"This will take crime off the streets and help problematic drug users back
into treatment."
