In relation to David Cameron's hazy past as a cannabis junkie, shadow environment spokesman, Peter Ainsworth, today said that he considered people that didn't smoke cannabis were odd...

I thought it was quite refreshing hearing a politician actually tell the truth.

I'm rather scared now....

:shock:

I can't believe either of you is taking a politician seriously :shock: ...

We should skin em up and smoke em. Failing that, my old tried and tested, tying them to a crazy horse with 15' of rope, whippin' the horse's arse and seeing how many house bricks you can hit the politician on the head with in a 1000 metre dash...

Admittedly, I can be a tad extreme at times :oops: ...

I am odd (if anyone's wondering who cast the 'odd' vote above) according to Peter Ainsworth. Of course, it's rubbish. A tiny minority of people of my age smoke cannabis. When I was at college (in the seventies) a few people grew the stuff on window sills, true, but they were the oddballs. The rest of us were normal. Sorry guys, but that's how it is. Whilst not strictly speaking abnormal to smoke the stuff, it is still a tad eccentric, a minority recreation, and therefore not literally 'normal'. Politicians trying to look 'right on' by making statements about non-users being odd are pathetic. Actually, I needn't have qualified that. Politicians are pathetic. Full stop.
