Time for a Royal Commission on drugs?
The Echo is quite right that the current drugs problem caused largely by the extensive use of so called 'legal highs' needs to be tackled. Why not include a 'legal high' like alcohol for good measure? A lot of the blame for the current epidemic, much of which started in our prisons, can be laid at the door of the 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act, which the Heath government introduced to coincide with US President Richard Nixon's 'War on Drugs' policy, which basically criminalised the illicit use of most narcotics.

Conference Motions
It's fair to say: one of the greatest things about the Lib Dems is our party's approach to giving every member an equal voice in shaping who we are and what we stand for. Twice a year, the party puts this approach into practice by giving every member the opportunity to propose a motion to Conference, outlining their vision for a new policy, or way for the party to work. But motions can be heavy reading; often long, technical, and generally inaccessible. We think every member should have the same opportunity to access, read and make sense of every motion put before them, and the ability to have an informed debate around each one, before they cast their vote. These motions help shape our party, after all.
