U.K: Son of sacked drugs advisor David Nutt pictured 'smoking cannabis' on Facebook.

Daily Mail Reporter | 11/15/09 |

Bleary-eyed: Steve Nutt's face is covered in paint and he puffs on what could be a joint of cannabis

The son of sacked government drugs advisor David Nutt has posted pictures of himself on the internet apparently smoking cannabis.

Steve Nutt, 24, is pictured on his Facebook page looking much the worse for wear.

In one snap, his face is covered with paint and he is puffing on what could be a joint of cannabis.

In a second photograph he is wearing a Santa hat with what appears to be another joint in his right hand.

On the right-hand side of the photo, one of Nutt's friends looks to be preparing a second joint.

Nutt Jnr looks even more out of it in a third photograph, taken at what looks to be a music festival. His face is partially covered with straw as he stands staring blearily at the camera.

The site also features Nutt's odd theories and even odder jokes.

The revelation comes after his father, Professor David Nutt, claimed cannabis, ecstasy and LSD are safer than cigarettes and alcohol.

The 58-year-old academic was sacked as chair of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs after accusing ministers of ignoring scientific evidence about the risk to health posed by drugs.

Prof Nutt famously insisted that using cannabis was safer than riding a horse.

His son comments on the sacking in one Facebook post, saying: 'Steve Nutt thinks his dad is probably more famous than he'll ever be, barring a terrorist atrocity that is...'

Instead of using a self-portrait in his 'profile' slot, Nutt uses an image of an orange labelled 'product of Israel' - half of which is a hand grenade.

Tis the season: Nutt Jnr waves what appears to be a joint in his right hand whilst wearing a Santa hat. To his left a friend looks to be preparing a second joint

Days after he was forced to step down from the ACMD, Prof Nutt said: 'I'm sure my children have tried drugs. In fact, some have told me they have. But I'm not as concerned about this as I am about alcohol.'

That is a message that appears to have been ignored by his daughter Lydia, who posted pictures of herself partying with friends while holding a bottle of spirits.

The picture was apparently uploaded two years before she turned 18.

Professor Nutt's eldest son Johnny, 26, posted pictures of himself naked in the snow in Sweden.

The bizarre messages on Steve Nutt's Facebook page can be seen by anyone in the 'Bristol network'.

Nutt, a student in London, lists his interests as 'the stuff other people list under "sociopathic tendencies" when they have their friends sectioned'.

He dismisses the war in Iraq as old hat, saying: 'Lets butcher some Iranians... they bleed better.'

He also jokes about mental illness and prostitution.

On November 6 he was quick to laugh at the horrific mass shooting by a US soldier at Camp Hood in Texas.

Nutt went online, sniggering: 'Come on Obama, you have to have a sense of irony, he was doing what he was trained to, he just got pointed in the wrong direction.'

Nutt claimed a friend had sent a picture of him smoking a rolled up cigarette to a tabloid newspaper.

It's obvious that the dude's a bit of a dick head, but then I know a lot of dickheads who don't smoke weed. The faux outrage in the Sun pisses me right off, bet loads of their readers like nothing more than rolling up a fat one

Honestly, with the way the world works now, you can find pictures of alcohol and drug use of pretty much any kid on a networking site... Kids these days love posting those pics.

He must be proud of his son.

Of course this will make the news,it shows just enough poor taste for the mainstream media and the anti-drug cartels to use as ammunition.
I can see the ad now. or a claim that a study showing smoking marijuana makes you laugh about terrorism. Or any of several social blunders.
They steer the people from thinking that a qualified expert had an opinion based on his knowledge of the subject that while within scientific reason,was outside "government" intentions.

See i was thinking the same exact thing, just more ammo for the fire. How come there's a news article about this? I mean, seriously, if you look at pretty much any teenagers (almost) Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, or whatever other social networking website that they tend to use, you would see pictures of most of them drinking (underage), and smoking marijuana... You will see crude jokes about the war, or things they dislike and don't agree with personally.

Why is this a big deal??? I believe it has to do with the fact, that, his father said the things he said (the truth) and got fired for it... Now they have to make a big deal about how bad drugs are... And are now using his son as an example.

So what about his comments on the war? You'll find many many comments like that all over the web, hell, in even newspapers (maybe not that bad, maybe even worse, but its still there)... I don't understand honestly (Unless, like said earlier, more ammo for the fire) why they would even bring that up? He doesn't live in America, his county isn't at war, he just doesn't agree with what WE'RE (our country) is doing, and voiced his opinion about that. How come all the other people who have said, MUCH MUCH MUCH worse things about the war, and drugs, do drugs etc etc, how come they aren't having newspaper articles written about them?

tl;dr; more ammo for the fire, only reason this article was published is because his fathers statements, (scientifically backed), we're not taken lightly by their government... And now their trying to make an even bigger deal out of this, to get more publicity, to keep drugs illegal (drugs, that are by far, safer then legal ones, and prescribed ones), and keep the big pharma profits.

Yup, here we go with the propaganda again. We can't have people catching word that a drug advisor was fired for expressing favourable views of illegal drugs. People might actually reasearch them and realize they're being lied to. Let's discredit him by running a story on how "fucked up" his family is. We can't have people thinking this man knows what he's talking about. He has to be seen as a nutjob who has skewed views about drugs.

Not to mention Kerlikowske's own son, who as we already know was arrested for marijuana possession and distribution. Just more evidence that prohibition fails.
