Gordon Brown Vows To Get Tough On Cannabis
Share

Gordon Brown has pledged to get tough on Cannabis, despite the advice of an official government advisory body.

As reported yesterday, the BBC claims that the Committee on the Misuse of Drugs deemed that Cannabis should not be reclassified as a Class B drug from its current status of Class C.

Their official report will be filed to the government later in the month.

Despite this, the PM is adamant that a strong message is sent out to drug users and stands by his stance that cannabis use is “not acceptable”, according to his spokesperson.

The Conservatives are also urging Gordon Brown to reclassify the drug swiftly before the advisory group file their report.

Shadow home secretary David Davies, said: “This shambles has been caused by Gordon Brown’s complete inability to make a decision. Rather than take action, he took the soft option of ordering a review.”

  • Well he’s definately sending out the wrong message now, that he is ignorant and hypocritical. At present this country sends out messages about the dangers of cannabis inbetween adverts for beer and spirits. Prohibition is the cause of all the problems associated with cannabis. The only way to take control of the problems is by regulation.

  • Alcohol and religion are the case of ALL of life’s problems. religion gives you the reasons to hate, and alcohol gives you the courage to show your hatred. the bible teaches that you should kill disobedient children and beat your slave if they don’t do as you say, and thats just two of the horrible morels this book teaches us. Stop producing alcohol, burn all bibles, light up a spliff, chill out and dont tell others what to do.
