Interesting huh..?
Drug users have a ‘human right’ to take banned substances and even grow their own cannabis, MPs and peers say today.
The group – made up of ex-senior police and lawmakers – says human rights legislation could be used as a defence against prosecution.
People caught with illegal drugs such as skunk, ecstasy and cocaine would be able to argue they have a right to a private and family life, their report claims.
And, because they do not ‘injure’ others, possession, purchase or even growing drugs should not be a criminal offence.
Experts say the report is now likely to spark a test case brought by a drug user. This could then open the ‘floodgates’ for people using Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights to fend off criminal action.
The argument has been put forward by the influential All Party Parliamentary Group for Drug Policy Reform, which has almost 100 members.
The group claims the ‘blanket prohibition’ approach has failed and new rules are needed which focus more on human rights.
Its findings are likely to be seized upon by pro-drug activists, given the seniority of the group’s members. They include ex-Met Commissioner Ian Blair, former Justice Secretary Lord Falconer and ex-Labour leader Lord Kinnock.
The report says: ‘The ECHR, in particular Article 8, could be invoked in support of the argument that possession or purchase (or cultivation of drugs for personal use) do not injure other people’s rights and therefore should not be criminalised.’
However Mary Brett, from charity Cannabis Skunk Sense, said the thinking behind the conclusion was flawed.
She said: ‘This is diabolical. Of course drugs injure other people. People can get psychotic when they take cannabis and can get really violent. We see the harm it does to families. Also, people steal to get money to buy drugs. That injures others.’
Keith Vaz, chairman of the Commons home affairs select committee, said that using human rights laws as an argument in favour of decriminalisation was the wrong approach.
‘This is novel as far as decriminalisation is concerned,’ he said. ‘One exemption, though minor, could open the floodgates. Human rights legislation is not designed to be used in this way.’

Keith Vaz (left), chairman of the Commons home affairs select committee, criticised report, while the inquiry's joint head Baroness Meacher (right) said it would be 'wonderful' if government trial a regulated market
The report concedes that harm to third parties could arise, such as incidents involving drug driving, but it said this was no different to people drinking alcohol.
It also calls for the Government to introduce a market for the legal sale of cannabis.
The report says there is a need to introduce an ‘experimental ethos’ in an approach which has ‘less focus upon prohibition, and greater emphasis upon human rights, public health and social welfare’.
The inquiry’s joint-head, Baroness Meacher, said licensed premises could sell tested cannabis. She said it would be ‘wonderful if our government would trial a regulated market’.
The European Convention is enshrined into UK law by Labour’s Human Rights Act. If British judges rule an existing law is incompatible with the HRA, it is accepted by ministers that they must change it.
Critics say that, in effect, the HRA is capable of trumping all other legislation.
A Government spokesman said: ‘This Government has no intention of decriminalising or legalising drugs.’
Especially if you have a court case pending..

A common sense approach is what the world needs.
Alcohol is a proven dangerous drug, bad for kids and causes lasting nerve damage damage and addiction. Weed does not.
Cannabis possession or cultivation is not different from brewing your own beer at home.
It's what you do with it that matters.

Good Morning Stoners,
Sometimes there are simple solutions to complex problems. Some states had a real problem keeping road signs marking the 420th mile.

That is a promising sign. I wonder if eP's rumor mill started something with one suggestion?
(Exerpt from recent Rumor Mill)
"The worlds human rights groups found one voice today at a special conference held in Barcelona when they unanimously voted to create a special award for British Prime Minister David Cameron for his brilliant cannabis growing plan that reaffirmed the individuals right to natures bounty."
I know it is just coincidence, but strange things do happen sometimes and with all the spiders and bots scanning us, who knows where it ends up or who reads it.
