Just Say No

UK’s Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs looks to be voting no on a reclassification of cannabis to a class B drug.

The Government's official advisory body on drugs policy believes cannabis should remain a Class C drug and not be reclassified as Class B, it has been reported.

The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) will make its recommendation this month, following a review of the decision to downgrade the drug.

The move could put the board on a collision course with Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who this week spoke of his determination to send a signal to young people that the use of cannabis was "unacceptable".

Good news. Let's see if the politicians restrain themselves from scoring easy political points with a reclassification.
