This is enlightened, evidence-based politics. We have almost none of it in UK. Instead we have politicians who won't even address the issues that are leading to the breakdown of society. #Drugspolicy is just one of the issues our so-called leaders won't even talk about.
If you buy dried plants from a posh Harley Street clinic, you're a "patient" benefitting from "medicine". 👩⚕️🚑
But if you grow plants or buy them from a bloke down the road, then you're a "criminal" consuming dangerous + harmful "narcotics". 🚨
Uruguay have done it.
Canada have done it.
Half the USA have done it.
Malta have done it.
Luxembourg have done it
Germany have done it.
Ireland must follow.
#LegaliseIt
Thousands dead, 40 years of cover-up, no one has ever been held to account. It's time for justice for the infected blood victims. Delighted to announce The Sunday Times is campaigning for action. Now. #bloodydisgrace

Mass lobby of MPs, government accused of 'morally corrupt' behaviour over its refusal to commit to paying full compensation to people infected and affected by contaminated blood and blood products. #ContaminatedBlood

The UK’s stance on #cannabis is indefensible from every angle—moral, economic, and human rights. The government’s unwillingness to adapt to new evidence and global trends is causing untold suffering to its citizens. #drugspolicy https://t.co/ur0UjL6eua
STUDY. Legalisation of #cannabis leads to reductions in crime, traffic fatalities, suicides, mental illness, alcohol and tobacco consumption. Large reduction in hospital admissions for alcohol and no increase in underage cannabis use. #drugspolicy https://t.co/PAm8nDOZot
Former @Metpoliceuk officer who policed #drugs in Camden says "The impact that a conviction can have on someone can be vastly more damaging than the harms caused by drug use and police interventions rarely dent the availability of drugs." #drugspolicy https://t.co/UQEVVQFzRO
@Conservatives are too late now but @UKLabour is going to have to get its collective brain in gear, face facts, follow evidence and move forward with #cannabis legalisation in the UK. No more time for the head in the sand approach. #drugspolicy
