from my perspective to
observe the enthusiasm of
some in the room for the
prospect of legalisation
of cannabis. With all the
legislation in the world, it
will not provide less work
for all the services, police
ambulance, fire etc.
Having all these organisations
there, I hope it
is not misconstrued as a
tacit approval for the legislation
of cannabis. Once
legalised there is no going
back. It would be like trying
to put toothpaste back
in the tube.
