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.

I think you can tell how much integrity the argument has when it's consistantly filed under politics and not health...

I've known that this was under discussion, but thank you for drawing my attention to the fact that it's going ahead. Long overdue, I think.
