Recreational cannabis users must not be treated as criminals, a leading social campaigner has said.

 

Fr Peter McVerry said users of the illegal drug should not be targeted for prosecution.

 

He told a conference on addiction and young people a clearer distinction must be made between class A drug abuse and recreational use of cannabis. "There needs to be a difference in our response to those using a smaller amount of cannabis for recreational use to help you get to sleep and using drugs such as heroin or cocaine that are extremely harmful to yourself and can cause harm to others," he said.

If you're not hurting or harming or personally bothering anyone else or their property,

then it should be Nobody Else's Business FULLSTOP.
