Alex Salmond hints at '˜dabbling' with cannabis at university


But the former First Minister told listeners to his radio show that he “didn’t exhale.”
The line is a reference to the former US President Bill Clinton who once claimed to have taken the drug but “did not inhale.”

“I think there’s lots of dabblers, including yourself Iain.”
Mr Salmond, a student at St Andrew’s university in the 1970s, said he did not agree with the Lib Dems’ call yesterday for cannabis to be legalised.
He said: “The difficulty with legalisation is the nature of the types of different aspects of cannabis.
“The only thing I’ve been able to nail down as a deliverable objective is cannabis for medicinal purposes for people with long-term conditions and illnesses. I’m hugely sympathetic to doing that.”
