Cameron Hardens Tory Drug Stance

Only yesterday I posted about David Cameron and supposed media revelations that he had smoked cannabis while at Eton and Oxford University. Today Mr Cameron is reported in the Daily Mail as having commented that, under his leadership, the Conservative party would take a different approach to drugs.

He also took the opportunity to give a strong warning to young people about the dangers of drug abuse saying, “I would advise strongly against it. It’s against the law, it’s wrong. I have seen what’s happened to contemporaries and constituents who have gone badly off the rails with drugs.”

It is certainly a pleasant (and very welcome) surprise that David Cameron has chosen to make such a statement, although I would say that the simple reclassification of drugs which he advocates cannot be the only solution to Britain’s drugs problem. Still, better than nothing though.
