Anti-drugs campaigners yesterday criticised the Labour Party for even debating the legalisation of cannabis.
The party kicked to touch a call for the decriminalisation, regulation and taxation of the supply of marijuana and cannabis.
A motion at the party conference, supported by Labour chief whip Emmett Stagg, was passed on to the national executive for further consideration.
Mr Stagg said the drug was available in every village, town, city, pub and club in the country, as well as in many schools.
"While cannabis is banned and criminalised, criminals will continue to supply it and young people and others will continue to use it and will be placed in the hands and control of criminals," he said.
But Europe Against Drugs (EURAD) spokeswoman, Grainne Kenny, in a letter to Labour leader Eamon Gilmore and deputy leader Joan Burton, criticised the debate.
"I am indeed surprised that the 'new' Labour Party is wasting precious time at your very important conference debating an issue that is wearing thin, except of course to those who have a vested interest or are merely armchair generals," she said.

I've always considered it over here in the US that Marijuana was the crappy garbage the mexicans bring in that nobody really wants.... and cannabis was the goods. I don't even use the word marijuana anyways, WTF wants mexican doo-doo weed?
I've always called a corn plant corn, on or off the stalk.
