Depends what you mean by ‘lethal’
While he was on the GMTV sofa yesterday, Gordon Brown referred to skunk as ‘lethal’ three times. Journalists followed this up at the Number 10 press briefing later that day. Is cannabis ‘lethal’? The government will, of course, have copious evidence to back up the Prime Minister’s claims, yes?
Put repeatedly that the Prime Minister had used the word “lethal” to describe the use of cannabis and asked if there were examples of cannabis being lethal, the PMS said that nobody was disputing the potential dangerous impacts of cannabis and that that was why cannabis was an illegal drug.
That’s a ‘no’ then. Unless it’s some kind of patois in the vein of ‘Wow man, this stuff is lethal!’
