Cannabis goes from class B to class C

[denny]

Haven't noticed anyone else mentioning or discussing this:

MPs today backed the downgrading of cannabis as ministers denied the move amounted to legalisation of the drug.

The reclassification of cannabis from class B to class C was backed by 316 votes to 160, a majority of 156, despite Conservative warnings that it would lead more young people into hard drugs.

The downgrading of cannabis is now scheduled to go ahead on January 29.
