SCOTLAND should be allowed to open up Dutch-style cannabis cafes, according to a former government drugs tsar.
Professor David Nutt, who was fired by the British government in 2009 for declaring horse-riding to be more dangerous than taking ecstasy, also called for the legalisation of cannabis for medical use and for people to be allowed to possess 5g of the drug.
