    What is wrong with cannabis anyway? Surely it does no more harm than alchohol or ordinary tobacco? I reckon the police seize the stuff, then sell it back to Holland for a higher price and the government reap all the money.

    There are many who smoke weed openly. I feel safe with someone smoking a spliff than someone sharpening a rusty chainsaw. I reckon the whole hype about how cannabis is worse than crack is just baloney.

    Additional: God created Hemp. God didn't say, "Don't touch the Hemp".
    How much is it for half ounce of cannabis(Just the seeds)? Where can I buy in Camden>?

    well, don't smoke it as i find it boring and am pretty buzzd naturally... having said that, i don't see why an adult over 18 or 21 or whatever, can't make up their own bloody mind!

    It's a fucking sad state of society when the government resort to trying to up their figures by making drivers (speed cameras) and peeps who prefer blow (or any other drug to alcohol) criminals...

    well done! you cant catch the real fuck ups (rapists, murderers etc) so why not give a criminal record to us normal moral folk who just happen to like to smoke weed rather than drink a martini at the "club" or drive home a bit fast meh

    Well at least it ups their figures for the fight against crime eh??

    I found this quite interesting. It suggests that politicians are more often than not hippocrites. Just goes to show how we shouldn't take anything New Labour tells us about Cannabis. I believe Cherie Blair has had a few puffs of the dragon. No wonder she seems out of it. Even Boris Johnson had a few spliffs here and there in his teenage years.

    This seems to be pretty much the view of Chief Superintendent Paul Pearce of Brighton and Hove Police, who has been quoted in the local paper as saying that the reclassification will make no difference to how the police deal with cannabis, that the majority of drug-related crimes stem from heroin and crack cocaine addiction, that drug abuse is a social problem which the police can't tackle on their own and there should be a debate about legalisation. But between him and a Daily Mail leader, who will the government take more notice of?

    The affects of cannabis are always grossly exagerated just so a few number of people can support their case against the humble leaf.

    Cannabis is just as harmful as ciggerettes and alchohol.

    I don't believe the effects are grossly exagerated by the authorities, though their reaction to it is. Too much strong weed smoked at a young age will more often than not affect the development of ones psyche, sense, simple common sense.

    Re-classification I believe has more to do with the desire to give bigger sentences to the Factory managers, maybe perceived as a lot of money to be made with small risk.

    When Pete Docherty got sent to jail, it must have been Drug Heaven. Prison has always been a way to tackle drug addiction. It is criminalised so more people go to prison. Reclassifing Cannabis means longer terms in jail but won't solve the drugs problem. I think cannabis has been dubbed almost worse than Crack. Although yes at a young age Cannabis may be more harmful, but we could say the same thing if we gave a ciggerette to a tiddlypeep.

    But people can smoke a weaker form of cannabis. Not everyone smokes strong cannbis or skunk. Some just prefer to get a little high. It is like you can either choose Marlboro or Silkcut. There is always a choice, a range of strengths. OUr government are about as useful as an air conditioner on the face of the Sun, when it comes to tackling drugs.

    There is a slight difference between psychoactive and non-pshycoactive drugs though if you care to consider the possibility.

    The young are not interested in moderation haven't you noticed, I know not all, but a significant minority, and as to the matter of choice that's not really true. Better legalised and qualified though imo.

    Some drug geezer is saying that acid and ecstasy should be downgraded now.

    Bout bloody time! They cause MUCH less damage (in fact acid causes NONE thats been conclusively proven) than heroin and the other drugs in Class A, so it's a bit spurious to defenc them being in that class with "But theyre bad for you OMG"

    It's pointless re-classifying it, it just means that more people will get sent to jail for having it making the prisons even more full. It isn't gonna stop people from smoking it any less. Just de-criminilise it and have done, open a few hash shops at least that way they can conrol it somewhat
