UK: Cannabis Ploy Adam Crawford The Herald Wednesday 02 Apr 2008 Date: April 2 2008 Author: Adam Crawford --- I am disappointed that Gordon Brown believes reclassifying cannabis to a class-B drug will be beneficial in stopping young people from using it. Does Gordon Brown really believe that "those at the most vulnerable age" keep themselves up to date with drug classifications. Regardless of the classification of the drug, young people who choose to use it will continue to use it. In order to combat drug use, especially among younger teens, you have to first find the root causes. Workshops in schools that show a balanced argument would be a good start. The reclassification is nothing more than a ploy. The people who blame our drug-fuelled hooded youth for all the problems in the country will see it as a step forward, whereas, in reality it is a meaningless and ineffective way of combating the drug culture among teenagers.
