The Independent on Sunday has recanted its support for the legalisation of cannabis. The tide is turning against this wicked poison, which (contrary to what is often asserted) it is not at all normal to use or ever to have used, but the enforecemnt of the law against which be far too close to the homes and families of many politicians and commentators. The same is now true of cocaine, and possibly also of heroin.
Thank God that a voice in the liberal media is at last standing up to this vile, vicious combination of snobbery, the ruination of young lives, and the horrific oppression of people in the developing world. By so doing, it is standing up to the "free" market now espoused by the entire political class: there cannot be a "free" market in goods and services generally but not in drugs, or indeed alcohol, gambling, prostitution and pornography. And such a market corrodes everything that conservatives exist in order to conserve. Just go through the list (national sovereignty, family life, and so forth), and the point is made.
