Saturday Conversations on Law
Today's video story:  Nick Clegg says the "war on drugs is not working", but Peter Hitchens says "there has been no war". The columnist said cannabis has been "effectively a decriminalised drug in the country for many years", and the number of prosecutions has been “dropping like a stone”. But the former deputy prime minister said: “Drugs are bad for you, they cause harm. I am a dad, I don't want my kids hooked on drugs", but he told Mr Hitchens that he could not "just wish it away and somehow think you can prohibit drugs out of existence".
