I AM sure I will not be the only person in York who will not be too concerned that Mr Clements of the Legalise Cannabis Alliance will not be standing as a prospective MP in the General Election.
His plea to the people of York to carefully think how they vote will, hopefully, fall on deaf ears because I think most voters will go to the polls with a reasonably clear head and not be spaced out by the effects of cannabis, a classified drug.
I detest anyone who pushes the use of a substance that is so mind-bending. Can't Mr Clements get enough kicks from alcohol which causes enough problems in society?
Most criminals who burgle our houses and commit all nature of crime started off on so-called soft drugs, i.e. cannabis, and progressed to heroin.
