BBC NEWS | Politics | Top ministers admit cannabis use (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6907040.stm)
Chancellor Alistair Darling and Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly are among those to admit using the drug when they were younger.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown was among those to say they had never used it.
The Home Office is to review the decision to downgrade cannabis to a class C substance.
Ms Smith, who is to head the review of the UK's drugs strategy, said she had smoked it "just a few times," had "not particularly" enjoyed it and had not taken any other illegal drugs.
"I did break the law... I was wrong... drugs are wrong," Ms Smith, 44, added.
Heaven forbid anyone in charge of enforcing drug laws could possibly have any first hand experience with them. what a retarded country we live in.
