Canada’s Green Party leader has apologised for never smoking cannabis.
Elizabeth May recently unveiled her party’s election manifesto – ahead of the upcoming Canadian general election - which includes a proposal to legalise the drug.
She said: “I am not a fan of marijuana use. I have to confess this, I know all politicians are asked. I’ve never used marijuana. I apologise.” The party wants to sell marijuana to adults through licensed distribution outlets, and estimates the plan would raise CA$1 billion in tax yearly.
The Green party currently holds one parliamentary seat.

Dutch police fined a man for smoking cannabis – because his cigarette contained tobacco.
Holland introduced a smoking ban in restaurants and cafes in July, meaning although the public can still smoke cannabis in establishments, smoking tobacco is prohibited.
An Amsterdam police spokesman said: “For logic it is sometimes impossible to explain, even to the Dutch. The man was not fined for smoking a cannabis joint but for smoking. You can smoke cannabis but not tobacco in coffee shops.” The 27-year-old man owns a coffee shop in the city and was fined after he was caught rolling a cigarette with tobacco and cannabis during a routine police check.
He is expected to contest the charge in court.

A German farmer decided to drive 175 miles to visit a friend on his combine harvester.
Arnold Gerber, 28, started his trip in the early evening in an attempt to avoid heavy traffic, but had soon caused a five-mile traffic jam.
Police eventually stopped him 30 miles into his journey, and fined him for driving too slowly – the vehicle’s top speed was 15mph.
Arnold said: “I took the combine harvester because I have never had a licence for a car, only a tractor. I did not think I would be doing anything wrong.
"I have a friend who lives a long way away and he asked if I wanted to go and see him. I have been driving combine harvesters for years and have to take them along some roads now and again.”

An American man was cited after he bought a beer for his four-year-old son.
The man purchased the beverage at the Fond du Lac County Fair in Wisconsin, and then began sharing it with his son’s two-year-old sibling.
The female bartender told police she initially thought the man was joking when he made his request.
When a law enforcement officer approached the man, he claimed it was legal for minors to drink alcohol in Wisconsin as long as an adult was present.
The policeman countered the child was not old enough to understand what he was drinking, prompting the man to become belligerent.
He started shouting, swearing and kicking fairground equipment.
The area’s district attorney recently ordered the man be cited for disorderly conduct.

Veterinarians in Israel are set to use DNA in the fight against dog faeces littering the streets.

If the scheme takes off, the vets hope to make it mandatory to register their animal’s DNA.
Tika Bar-On, chief veterinarian, came up with the plan and said animal lovers have so far reacted positively to the idea.
She said: “Residents are co-operating because they want their neighbourhood to be clean.” The doctor also explained the collection of genetic makeup could also help in research into diseases, investigating canine pedigree and identifying stray animals.

A survey by international news agency Reuters suggests the current National led Government is trailing behind with just 36.3% while the opposing National party is leading with 50%.
