And how would you know that? (Apart from the fact that someone says "Skunk" to you every 5m as you walk down Brixton Road?)

No. I wasn't "hanging around" (one can observe while walking you know) and I haven't done weed for years and years. Besides I live near Reading, which has its own well-known "shop" for that, so not much point in going all that way just to probably get ripped off anyway.

I do think it should be legalised though (as I would imagine most round here do...even the authoritarian, nanny state-loving, God-fearing Chapman does). It would be one of the least painful ways of making cuts (police time etc). If only we didn't have the vested interests and sanctimonious killjoys in the way, who would sooner see cuts to vital services than allow people to get stoned in their own homes.

Interestingly, those who take a sensible, pragmatic attitude towards weed are usually the polar opposite in regard to speed enforcement, and vice versa. I've always found that strange.
