EXPERT WANTS SCOTS CANNABIS CAFES

A FORMER UK Government adviser has said Scots should go Dutch and 
open cannabis cafes.

Professor David Nutt, who has advised the Department of Health, said 
it could be "very good" for the economy. Prof Nutt  sacked by the UK 
Government in 2009 for saying horse riding was more dangerous than 
ecstasy  also blasted plans to ban legal highs.

Speaking ahead of a talk in Edinburgh, Prof Nutt said: "If Scotland 
had a sensible medical cannabis policy you'd get a lot of health 
tourists and that would be very good for your economy. People could 
have a cuppa in cafes in Edinburgh and Glasgow and have a spliff as 
they do in Amsterdam."
