PM backs re-classifying cannabis

It would appear that the assurances the ACMD were given before starting
their third review of cannabis in as many years were lies.

Cannabis use has been normal in my circle of acquaintances for over 40
years.



PM backs re-classifying cannabis

1 day ago

Gordon Brown has said he is determined to send a signal to young people
that the use of cannabis is "unacceptable".

At his monthly Downing Street news conference, the Prime Minister
indicated his strong sup****t for re-classifying cannabis again as a Class
B drug.

His comments came ahead of the expected review this month of the Advisory
Council on Drugs of the decision to downgrade it to a Class C drug.

While Mr Brown said that he would consider the council's re****t, he made
clear that he believed that change was necessary.

"I believe that if we are sending out a signal particularly to teenagers,
and particularly those at the most vulnerable age, young teenagers, that
we in any way find cannabis acceptable, given all that we now know about
the changes in the way cannabis is being sold in this country, that is not
the right thing to do," he said.

"My personal view has been pretty well known for some time. Given the
changing nature of the stock of cannabis that is coming into the country
and greater damage that that appears to be doing to people who use it,
there is a stronger case for sending out a signal that cannabis is not
only illegal but it is unacceptable."
