UK: Should cannabis have been reclassified?

Radio 1 Newsbeat

Thursday 29 Oct 2009



The government's been attacked by its most senior advisor on drugs over the decision to reclassify cannabis from a Class C drug to Class B. Is he right?

Professor David Nutt claims Ecstasy, LSD and cannabis are all less dangerous than both alcohol and cigarettes.

He says he's not happy that his advice on reclassifying cannabis was ignored.

Last year worries about the links between high-strength cannabis and mental health issues led to the government reclassifying it as a Class B drug, despite disagreement from official advisers.

Do you agree with Professor Nutt? Or was the government right to reclassify cannabis? Do you think cannabis is less dangerous than cigarettes and alcohol?
