Re - classing of cannabis in the UK

[Gixer]

A few years ago cannabis was declassed from a class B drug to a class C, which basically meant that you wouldnt be automatically arrested for having a small amount of weed on you for personal use. But the government look as if they are going to do a massive U turn and put it back up to a class B drug, the consequences of which mean more people arrested, fined or jailed and mountains of extra paperwork for the police. The whole thing sucks, we seem to moving backwards as a society not forwards!!!

this is just getting silly. The government should be more concerned with other issues. I suppose the main prolem is to actually come up with a scientific evidence of the benefits/dangers of canabis. It's all about speculation, not really about factual evidence. Anyway, if they decide to re clasify cannabis back to B, they're definitely having it all wrong.

Well in the U.S. it's class A (or 1). Crazy. It's in the same category as heroin. That's utter insanity.

But you know what's even sillier? they think people won't smoke it cos it's going to be reclassified again...

[adoutsider]

some day they'll figure it out, but only after they have exhausted all other alternatives.

Just legalize it and save us all the headaches.
