Cannabis is to be reclassified as a class B drug, Jacqui Smith has
said.
The home secretary said that because of the "increased strength" of
some types, she wanted to reverse Tony Blair's 2004 downgrading of the
drug to class C.
She highlighted "uncertainty at the least" on the future impact on
young people's mental health from cannabis.
Her statement to MPs came despite the Advisory Council on the Misuse
of Drugs' review - commissioned by Gordon Brown - saying it should
stay class C.

Looks like "Drug-Wars Forever", even in the supposedly
sensible countries.
Guess they needed more excuses to grind the poor and the
immigrants under the boot-heel ...
