I think the strains of cannabis available now are very different from 30 years ago. Working in entertainment in Cornwall our audiences often had a large proportion of pot heads. Usually quiet people who caused very little trouble compared with the drunks. There was very little violence on the streets, a few fist fights when the pubs were turning out, and certainly nothing like the knife crime we see now. Of course not only have the drugs got stronger but the internet has changed out of all recognition. Children, who used to spend hours dialling up with a modem to get a bit of information to help with their homework, now have a whole world of information literally at their fingertips. And a lot of it is information they really shouldn't be able to access
