Canada is going through the same issues at the moment. I remember when I lived in London how laid back everyone was about that. I hope Brown and his idiotic policies (I follow UK politics a little) don't continue forward.

Aside from the fact that the medical community contiues to be ignored, to further add salt to the wound, one of the reasons given for reclassification is tougher penalties for dealers.
well, as it stands under class C dealers get upto 14 yrs max, users get upto 2 yrs. whereas under class B dealers would still get 14 yrs, except me and you would get 5 years. THE CHANGE TARGETS THE USERS JUST AS MUCH AS DEALERS

Also, G.Brown says the reason for this is to send the message to youth that cannabis is dangerous and harmful 'just like alcohol' - despite this bein bollocks WHAT POSSIBLE JUSTIFICATION CAN THEY HAVE FOR ALLOWING ALCOHOL BUT NOT WEED

I am so detached and disilusioned with this government at the moment it truly is crap if Brown gets his way
