Conservative stoner
By Michael J.W. Stickings
A new biography claims that British Conservative Party leader David Cameron smoked pot (and was caught and grounded for it) while at school at Eton. Unfortunately, he opposes the legalization of marijuana except perhaps for medicinal use.
Hypocrisy? Sure. And it doesn't help that he has avoided the issue in the past by saying that he did unspecified things that he now regrets doing.
I'm tempted to make some snarky remark about conservatives and drugs. But why bother? Cameron is more "liberal" than most conservatives, particularly of the American persuasion, and for that he ought to be applauded, but it's a shame we still live in a time when mild drug use of this kind is still an issue.
Get over it. It's no big deal.

Losing the cash cow of the "war" on drugs would be a big deal for the enforcement industry. I think the repeal of Prohibition and the loss of livelihood and loss of budget that came with it were factors that prompted the government to replace it with Cannabis prohibition.
All the arguments for continuing the ban are specious and all the attempts have failed to reduce its use. The only results are a criminal subculture, disrespect for law, a huge rise in crime and the ruination of lives.
Big shots can and know that they can usually get away with it. It's the less affluent they pretend to be protecting and the less affluent that suffer needlessly from this game.
