Quaker Action on Alcohol and Drugs (QAAD) held a lively discussion this year at Westminster Meeting House on the idea of drug ‘decriminalisation’. My experience, as a former cannabis addict and sufferer of mental illness, leads me to oppose proposals to legitimise drug production and sale for the sake, especially, of those fortunate not to have been exposed, young and old.
