Scottish Socialist Party leader Tommy Sheridan enjoys a cup of tea and a pastry at the Purple Haze Cafe in Edinburgh, where the Scottish Cannabis Coffeeshop Movement (SCCM) had invited people to openly use cannabis. Mr Sheridan called on police to turn a blind eye to the use of cannabis - which he said was no more a crime than doing a jigsaw - as the drug was officially downgraded to class C.
