Call for 'Blind Eye' to Cannabis The Scotsman

SSP backing for Scotland's first cannabis cafe

Kevin Williamson, the drugs spokesman for the Scottish Socialist Party, who is spearheading the SCCM campaign, said he wanted to build a network of tolerance zones across Scotland.

Mr Williamson said: "We want to expand it across the whole of Scotland, with the objective of calling on the Executive, the police forces and the local authorities to create Scottish-wide cannabis-tolerant zones until our parliament has the powers to change the law."

He said the campaign also wanted to turn the zones into cannabis information centres and monitor arrests for personal possession of cannabis. The Scotsman
