Here is a political flyer which would have gone a long way to lightening up the election campaign.

Although legalising cannabis, "in the longer term", has been party policy (pdf) for three years, it wasn't something the Liberal Democrats pushed hard in their manifesto. While he's battling hard to give up cigarettes, let's hope that the party leader, Charles Kennedy, won't be tempted to take up another vice by his younger colleagues.
