"The Prime Minister revealed his strong support for reclassifying cannabis as a "class B" rather than "class C" drug … Today's comments from the Prime Minister suggest he will push ahead with reclassification regardless of what the review concludes".
Typical fucking politician; who cares what smrt people who've actually researched something say, my opinion is more important, and deserves to be forced on everyone else.
Of course, it's all pandering to the electorate; the public are bombarded with constant media witterings about how cannabis causes people to become psychotic (sure; at about the same rate alcohol causes psychosis) and schizophrenic (an association made strongly with tobacco). I guess "New report finds cannabis less dangerous than alcohol and tobacco" isn't as exciting as "Cannabis ruined my son's life!!!".
Of course if alcohol ruining lives weren't so common I'm sure we'd have the media flooded with articles on that too. And tobacco, which pretty much directly kills 25% of the population, is somehow safe enough to simply tax heavily. Did I mention something like 80% of schizophrenics smoke?
So, fuck you Gordon Brown. Fuck you for putting your own opinions ahead of my own autonomy when it comes to consuming something that the facts clearly show as being less harmful than things you yourself consume. Fuck you for ignoring facts that might help you form policies which actually help society, instead of flailing around trying to appease Daily Mail readers.
