STAND UP, CHILL OUT

For those who prefer alternative intoxication, pro-marijuana activists
outraged at David Blunkett's last-minute postponement of the
reclassification of cannabis are planning to "smoke out" the home secretary
on July 28. Members of both the Legalise Cannabis Alliance AND the Campaign
to Legalise Cannabis International Association (no jokes about the People's
Front of Judea, please!) will be demonstrating outside the Home Office about
the herbal delay, and the decision to make possession of Class Cs an
arrestable offence after all. For those of you who cannot stir yourself from
the sofa for the 2.30pm demo, there will be a "chill out" in neighbouring St
James park at "approx" 3.10pm, according to the press release. In the
Backbencher's limited student non-inhaling experience - that could be very
"approx".
