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.
