Thanks m8, but it is only available to those residing in the UK! Any chance of a 'Youtube' version?

One thing that stuck in my mind was an all too familiar quote from one of the policemen - that most people have to do a hard days work, but some can get rich 'just by growing a few plants in their attic'.
Clearly there was not enough neural matter in the gentleman in question to realise that this is ENTIRELY the fault of prohibition.

Great link Dave, cheers.

Its hard to disagree with anything in it. It comes as no surprise the producers of the show only wanted to express thier Point of view, rather than a level headed, and informed, and dare I say, accurate view. But with ' TheBeeb' behind it, it was never going to be partisan ( is that the right word?

it sounded right in my head! )

Yeah the horrible woman with the internet newsletter thing, completely unjustified and blown completely out of proportion. Her son must just have a very addictive personality because if I can't afford to buy weed, I don't smoke it. I don't go thieving so I can have a bloody smoke!! I'm sure he would have got just as hooked on gambling etc, it just happened to be weed. She needed a smack in the face. What a closed minded individual.

I accept that weed is not for everyone but what a d**k!!
