31 March 2010 - Chancellor Alistair Darling has admitted he was an "occasional" cannabis user when he was younger. In an admission echoing Bill Clinton's revelation that he had tried the drug but did not inhale, the Edinburgh South West MP said he did not like the taste, but was driven by curiosity.
The Chancellor, who first admitted in 2007 that he tried cannabis while at university, talked openly about his drug taking experiences in a magazine interview.
