A Statutory Instrument (Draft Order laid before Parliament under section 2(5) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, for approval by resolution of each House of Parliament) was published today, to come into effect 26th January 2009.
 
This Order reclassifies cannabis, cannabis resin, cannabinol and cannabinol derivatives from Class C to Class B drugs for the purposes of control under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. In addition, any substance which is an ester or ether of cannabinol or of a cannabinol derivative is reclassified as a Class B drug.


So much for consultation and independent reports.




But, There IS another way!

The Libertarian Party is the only party that has promised to decriminalise these drugs and repeal many of these draconian laws enacted over the past 10 years.
