UK: Tories in dope 'muddle'

The Sun

Saturday 24 Jan 2004

---

Cannabis quiz ... how they rate

THE Tories'tough stand against cannabis seemed to go up in smoke last night
- when NONE of the Shadow Cabinet would deny ever taking it themselves.

They have had a field day attacking the Government's decision to downgrade
the drug from Class B status to Class C.

A special report in The Sun yesterday revealed the chaos surrounding the
decision.

And Tory Leader Michael Howard vowed to reverse the change if he became
Prime Minister.

But The Sun decided to quiz the Shadow Cabinet on whether THEY had ever
smoked dope. All either refused to comment or were not available.

So above, using their previous history involving the drug, we have given
them a 'spliff rating' of 0 to 2 leaves.
