Minister smoked pot

Apparently the new minister for drugs policy has admitted smoking cannabis, I guess that I should be upset by the hypocracy of his having dabbled in drugs and now running the British end of the stupid war on drugs. But I'm not. Having Smoked pot does not make him a degenerate, it makes him like most of the people that he represents. So can we now get rid of this stupid drugs policy and legalise the damn stuff?
