“After listening to Jacqui Smith MP talking about skunk cannabis in Parliament today millions of young people have decided to quit using cannabis and drink 3 litre bottles of white-lightning cider instead.”

The Transform Drug Policy Foundation blog has an amusing post on the futility and impacts of reclassifying cannabis. Despite the caustic humour, the charity does have a sensible message - legalisation and control is better than prohibilition and criminalisation. The government’s bullshit stunt of reclassifying cannabis more severely criminalises millions of people, and is just political posturing designed to please middle England while Brown flounders. The full post is here, and the Foundation’s homepage is here.
