Legalise cannabis?

Now.

"Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica." - Abraham Lincoln

"I inhaled frequently. That was the point." - Barack Obama, U.S. President

"That is not a drug. It's a leaf." - Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California

Cannabis evidence 'was distorted'

Proff Nutt said skunk use had not caused an upswing in schizophrenia

The row over the reclassification of cannabis has been reignited after the government's chief drug adviser accused ministers of "distorting" the evidence.

The proffesor has now been sacked by the government ...un fucking believable ...


What is the point of having independent scientific advice if as soon as you get some advice that you don't like, you sack the person who has given it to you?" he said.

Mr Huhne said if the government did not want to take expert scientific advice, it might as well have "a committee of tabloid newspaper editors to advise on drugs policy".

They've got ther drugs we've got ours.

Second drugs adviser quits post ...

means we have no-one now looking at that vast group of people who prescribe drugs and advise people about drugs, drug harms from the over-the-counter and prescription side".

this is very bad news for me! couldn't have come at a worse time really!

The reality that the scientists have been telling the government since victorian times about cannabis ...then massively in 1968 ...and ever since.
If you classify drugs on a harm basis to the individual and society at large the list shoudl look like this ....


Class A ....

Heroin Crack Amphetamines Brabiturates.

Class B ...

Alcohol tobacco some lesser amphetamines valium.

Class C ...

Cannabis LSD ecstacy.



Thats the science and the life experience of millions.
This is the reality ...something governments often like you not to be in touch with.

Why was David Nutt sacked?



It is the question that is buzzing around the scientific community tonight - why exactly did the Home Secretary ask his most senior drugs advisor to pack his bags?

The home secretary states that "it is not the job of the chair of the Government's advisory council to comment or initiate a public debate on the policy framework for drugs".

In other words, the minister sees the relationship between his scientific advisors and his department as, essentially, a private one: you tell us about the "matters of evidence", as he describes them in his letter, and then shut up.

The BSE disaster in the 1980s and 90s is a case in point: some advisers and government-employed scientists said they told ministers that they feared the disease in cows could spread to humans - warnings that were not published nor heeded until it was too late.

The science did not fit in with the Ministry of Agriculture's policy that British beef was entirely safe. Remember John Gummer trying to shove that burger into his daughter's mouth outside Parliament in 1990?http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/markeaston/2009/11/why_was_david_nutt_sacked.html

Same as they did with mad cow disease and look how they bolloxed that.

The schizophrenia stuff ...all bollox.
If you read nuts report which was handed to the government it clearly states and shows that schizo episodes in young people are at a twenty five year low ...as my gp pointed out on question time last week in Llandudno.
At their lowest ...when cannabis is supposedly at its strongest ...another pile of bollox sprinkled with a tiny bit of truth.

Three more drugs advisers resign ....


It said: "The discussions were very constructive, and it was agreed that the ACMD would continue discussions with the Home Office and government chief scientific advisors in establishing a way to work collaboratively together into the future with a common purpose of reducing any drug-related harm in the UK."
