Currently the eyes of the world are on the UK, waiting to see the results of the British government’s re-classification of cannabis from schedule B to schedule C – in order, they say to differentiate it from schedule A drugs ……. The NDPA, and prevention workers from all over the world, believe this is a very foolish action which will inevitably result in increased use of cannabis; particularly amongst the young people, most of whom now believe, wrongly, that cannabis is ‘legal’ in Britain. Despite the Home Office spending £1 million on a campaign to tell people that cannabis is not legal and not harmless the damage is done – the mixed messages have been well and truly received and the government will surely regret this action. The following comment from the Daily Mail is only one of many which in the past week have expressed dismay at Mr. Blunkett’s meddling with drug laws.
