Personally, I think they were just doing what normal teenagers do, and that they don't do it anymore, and it's nice to see a bit of honesty in the houses of parliament... what about you?

I definately agree that it's nice to see some honesty, finally. I also believe that you can't be old and wise without being young and crazy.

No not bothered every one does it or trys it................ OK so there is a few of you out there who have not tried it .......................Or at least you pretend you have not.
Personally i think the goverment should take a leaf out of Hollands book and make cannabis legal.
Lets be honest surely our police force have better things to do than going around arresting people just because they are having a puff.
Also if Cannabis is so bad why is it you dont hear anything in the news from holland saying "drug crazed man stabbed/killed/robbed a poor innocent person etc'
And im not saying it should be LEGAL because i am a pot head (because i aint smoked it since i had children 11 years ago)
I personally think it is less harmful than Drink, Hear about more innocent people dying because some drunk has killed them than Puff.
DRUNK DRIVERS SHOULD BE LOCKED UP & POT HEADS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PUFF

I am not the least bit interested in what these politicians do or have done but one thing that does irritate me is when they stand and preach to the country about what is wrong and what is right!
What ever happened to 'lead by example'?
I would not be surprised if there are a few rapists, fraudsters, murderers, perverts, car thiefs, drug dealers, illegal immigrants, etc...amongst the 'leaders' of our country.
A fine example for normal teenagers to follow!
As for honesty.....depends how much the corporations will pay them to be honest! Lobbying is a very lucrative sideline.

At least they know something about the subject they are dealing with. If, as seems to be the case, none of them have felt the urge to move onto stronger drugs and are not currently sticking needles in their arms or drinking straws up their noses, that's a good argument for either leaving cannabis as class C or even decrimming it entirely.

First of all smoking cannabis is illegal we all know that, and I'm sure the well educated MPs and ministers who admit to taking illegal drugs knew that, and should definitely not be allowed to make laws to control young people of today
crime in this country and many others is down to drugs by smoking and taking illegal drugs is aiding and abetting many other crimes, the Butterfly effect.
MPs, ministers, Lord, judiciary service or any other parts of the bureaucratic clan should be removed from position,

Not really! I agree that admitting that they have done something, makes a change. Personally I think all drugs should be legalised as people are always going to take them and at least this way they can be regulated and taxed to pay for the re-hab. Most crime is linked to drugs trade, along with legalised drugs such as alcohol and tobacco.

Not at all bothered,i'd be more worried about the fact that some of them have probably had a few drinks on the job before making all the big decisions that affect the whole country.

Yes, I do, I think it proves that if you take cannabis you will go into a life of crime, or even worse, be a politician!
go on kids, unless you want to end up like Alaisdair Darling, just say NO!

Cannabis was made illegal a long time ago.Although the law as recently been amended I doubt if many current MP's were around to vote on it when it was first made illegal. Recent research seems to suggest that long term its not wise to take, The MP's are responding to that. Good for them

They can hardly put their hands up and say that they didn't, if they're asked, as there will be loads of people that will say that they were in the room when they did it. I think that it does allow them to seem to be normal people, but, if it had worked and expanded their minds in any good sense of the word, they wouldn't have ended up as politicians and ruling classes.
