Weeding out the unsavoury

When I'm Prime Minister this whole cannabis taboo will be ejected. I've had enough. We have people addicted to nicotine and alcohol and yet our one drug that actually makes people peace out is illegal? What other peace-promoting things are illegal? Well we lost the right to protest without a licence recently, that's for sure, even though under European law we all get the right to protest without fear of recrimination. It's a basic human right.

Anyway; cannabis is the least dangerous of our drugs and yet it remains illegal. Why? Well the original reason recalls the slave trade. The slaves would smoke cannabis and so work less; thus it became illegal: since no citizen of England or the US would be caught partaking of a slave habit, it affected none of them.

So I hear.

Regardless: it's a useless restriction. Begone with it.
