For the third time since reclassification in the UK as a Class 'C' drug (the least harmful), the Government drugs advisory has recomended that mothercannabis should not be upgraded to a class B - because - it still isn't dangerous - there is still only anecdotal evidence of any connection with mental illhealth - the weed ain't THAT much stronger than it used to be etc.etc.etc.
But this time the government has blatently ignored the truth and sited other reasons for it to be upgraded. Public Opinion appears to be one of them (brought about recently due to the mental health claims [remember reefer madness?] ). As a journalist rightly pointed out, if the government adopted policy due to public opinion GB would have resigned over the 10p tax!!
They say they are protecting the kids as well...which i agree should be done....but u don't have to ruin it for the adults do you?
....And d'ya know what?....I'm past caring, it's been ilegal all my life and it's never been much of a problem....endless campaigning hasn't worked, all we can do is vote for good policies..which rarely come around.....rumour is the police will not start nicking everyone they can like before ....so just keep it on the downlow people...we'll ride it out with a spliff....:cool:
