Mark Laurence Zammit flipped the script when it came to what people ask about cannabis and drug use. He starts by pointing out that everyone, including the government and the opposition, is asking the wrong question. He insists that, instead of asking why someone shouldn’t have the right to smoke a joint, we should instead be asking why people have the need to smoke a joint.
Despite acknowledging that there are people who smoke for fun whilst living a relatively good life, many are resorting to smoking because they are stressed, have no reason to get out of bed in the morning and a slew of other problems. He states that life is too demanding to do things such as buying a house or to get married. He concludes by saying that to remove the problem, we must work at removing the demand which only exists because of these problematic conditions of depression and anxiety.
