What the petition asks
Drug laws are there and apply to everyone, regardless of their status within society.
With media reports of trace amounts of cocaine and other drugs found in the toilets used by MPs and Lords, any politician using any illegal drugs should be held to account.
MPs and Lords should not oppose this petition, as if you have nothing to hide, then MPs and Lords have nothing to fear.
