Smoking of pot and taking of other drugs eg cocaine, heroin should all attract mandatory rehabilitation of the serious kind- rock-chopping and sport as part of the regimen. If rehab is refused then offenders should be criminalised and jail terms served.

People who promote decriminalisation of pot smoking and/or of more serious drugs are the last people I would want in our Parliaments or in positions of trust.

Webby ,the reality is this,for every drug banned somone will invent a new one in a backyard lab that is more potent and dangerous than the last.It is up to the individual to take responsiblity.Drugs won't go away no matter how many laws we implement,the only variable that will have impact,is human discipline and will,not to be corrupted.

Smoking pot, like drinking beer, if done with considered moderation, is pretty harmless.

So Malcolm smoked, big deal!

I reckon he jumped in pretty quickly to admit to pot because he didn't want to be asked how much coke he snorted with his merchant banker mates.

Nice one, Usual Suspect!

I suspect it's closer to the truth than we'll ever know. I have absolutely no trouble imagining Turnbull on coke, talking at a million miles-per-hour about how great he is.

I've met him. I doubt it.
