Sir Richard Branson says he doesn’t want to see drugs sold in supermarkets. Why not? That is the logic of his opinions, and I can’t see why he won’t just say so. Is he afraid it will damage his funky brand?

If you don’t believe these substances are immoral, disgusting and dangerous then why not just let rip?

But ‘Sir’ Richard doesn’t seem to disapprove. He freely confesses to having taken several of them, though curiously he only ‘suspects’ he has sampled cocaine.

I have no respect at all for this absurd, overrated person, who in my opinion knows almost nothing about anything, except perhaps getting people to part with their money. Even then the record is patchy.

Not long, according to my old adversary Peter Reynolds, the leader of the cannabis legalisation party CLEAR.

He wrote to his supporters last week to say: ‘Effectively, growing your own [cannabis] has been decriminalised. We are free.’

He explained: ‘The important point about these sentencing guidelines is that penalties have been reduced to such a level that I doubt whether the CPS will be interested in pursuing such cases.’

For once, I agree with him.

Me thinks the propaganda war is getting to Peter Hitchens and that he needs treatment for PTSD.
 
"we are no longer accepting comments on this article" Surprise surprise.
 
Peter Hitchens is correct in his assessment of Richard Branson's credibility and, probably, of the reasons for his invite to the Home Affairs Select Committee.

As ever, however, Peter Hitchens completely misses the real story, preferring to argue that the war on drugs doesn't exist because... wait for it... Pete Doherty hasn't been thrown in jail yet.

Poor Peter needs to smoke some 'brain poison'.
 
That was his eminently more sensible and rational brother, Christopher.

Sadly the good brother dies. The idiot brother survives and gets to write more bullshit.

What a world we live in.
