Minister Owen Bonnici told The Guardian that his government is not encouraging drug use, but that there is no evidence that cannabis would push people to try other substances.He said: “There is a wave of understanding now that the hard-fist approach against cannabis users was disproportionate, unjust and it was rendering a lot of suffering to people who are leading exemplary lives. But the fact that they make use on a personal basis of cannabis is putting them in the jaws of criminality.
