The cannabis scenes in Gavin & Stacey probably were intended as propaganda, but I doubt that they can have worked very well. Only elderly characters were shown consuming the drug; Larry Lamb and Alison Steadman are both in their seventies.
If anything, intentionally or otherwise, the whole thing was a satire of the Baby Boom on the cusp of dotage, after several decades of upper-working-class, small town domesticity rather than the sex, drugs and rock'n'roll that may have been anticipated a very long time ago.
I will be standing for Parliament again here at North West Durham next time, so please give generously. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
