The 82-year-old hard-left veteran was speaking during a Commons debate on how the Government should regulate drugs.
He called for legalization of marijuana for people who use the drug to treat chronic pain.
Mr Flynn said: "I would call on people, and I know we're not supposed to do this as members, to break the law.
