Gordon Brown, jacqui Smith and Vernon Coaker have made their feelings well known on the cannabis issue. "Cannabis" they say, "is unacceptable."
So the message is clear right?
Yet this week we heard of a new health risk doing the rounds. One which isn't going to help the government and its cause one little bit.
While the Labour party continue with their irrational stance on cannabis, according to www.dentistry.co.uk, website for the professional British Dentist and Orthodontist, its alcohol we really ought be talking about and not cannabis.
The Mouth Cancer Foundation is calling for a reduction in the current daily alcohol intake safety guidelines.
It follows the worldwide report which concludes that men and women who drink just two glasses of alcohol a day increase the risk of developing mouth cancer by 75%.
75%?
The report – "Alcohol as a Cause of Cancer* from the Cancer Institute of New South Wales, Australia, casts doubt on current drinking guidelines and must also cast doubt on the health advice the British government have given us recently, what with the further criminalisation of cannabis, and 24 hour alcohol drinks licensing?
I would say thats a clear message.
Founder of the Mouth Cancer Foundation, Dr Vinod Joshi says: 'In view of this latest report the current alcohol guidelines that we've got are actually very high.
The report also found that women drinking just two standard drinks per day increases their risk of developing breast cancer by 22%, while four drinks a day increases a man's risk of developing bowel cancer by 64% and 'To reduce the risk of mouth cancer risk, the Mouth Cancer Foundation recommends that people should limit or avoid alcohol altogether.'
Hang on a minute. Why haven't the great British press run with this story on every front page?
Why hasn't Paul Dacre, Editor-in-Chief at the Daily Mail Newspaper mounted a campaign against alcohol?
Why hasn't shadow Home Secretary David Davies come out in the press with what the Conservative party plan to do about this very serious health issue?
We'll let you make your own minds up but we have our own theories.
