Boris Johnson's Guide to Drugs

Yes, cannabis is dangerous, but no more than other perfectly legal drugs. It's time for a rethink, and the Tory party - the funkiest, most jiving party on Earth - is where it's happening.

As you may be aware, our Mayor of London, beloved St Boris has lead a colourful life. Having watched the latest "Talk to Frank" commercial about cannabis and thought "What a waste of money!" - teenagers see through these pointless lectures. I got to thinking "What we need is a figurehead who's been there, done it and got the T-shirt who youngsters in London could look up to".

I thought that I'd make my own Barnet Eye anti drugs commercial with a little help from my friend Boris. Whilst no one would suggest that Boris has used anything stronger than a glass of a tasty tipple for many a year, there are many reports that the use of drugs can have serious long term effects, which may manifest themselves years after the drugs are taken. I'd strongly suggest that any youngster planning to take anything should make sure they are fully aware of ALL the potential side effects.

(No animals were hurt in the making of this commercial and I repeat thatthere is no suggestion that Boris has been toking behind the bikesheds any time recently - any erratic behaviour shown in these pictures is merely the result of unfortate camera angles).

Please note that there is no suggestion whatsoever that Boris Johnson was stoned during the taking of any of these pictures and the Barnet Eye categorically states that any suggestion of such behaviour in these pictures is purely coincidental. We'd like to point out that all such behaviour can also be caused by perfectly legal behaviour such as drinking sherry and joining the Conservative Party
