UK: A user's view

Johnny, 32, Brixton

The Guardian

Tuesday 23 Oct 2001

"I welcome this with open arms, and hope it's
a step on the road towards a more enlightened
attitude to cannabis.

"You have to take the stigma away, which this
helps to do, so that rather than cannabis use
increasing, it will go down. People will stop
being attracted to it for rebellious reasons.

"I would also like to see the coffee shop model
piloted in a few cities to see how it worked
here.

"What I'd really like to know is, what does
Blunkett imagine happening in 15 years' time?
Around 10 years ago, when I started smoking,
something like this seemed impossible.
Reclassification is a slight cop out, as it
means they can avoid making the really brave
decision about cannabis.

"But I certainly applaud the attitude here
in Brixton, where as a resident I can walk
down my street with a joint in my hand and
hold my head high."
