Thank God that the Tories are not going to get into power, and for any of you who can, get out and bloody vote against them.
"Family spokeswoman Theresa May promised to make cannabis a Class B drug once again as part of giving a "clear message drugs are wrong". "
Says the BBC.
Why on Earth she would want to do this is beyond me.

Next they'll be enlisting the help of Mr Hat.
mmkay?
Beating up on drug users is an easy and cheap hit for politicians in that they are never going to talk back, you can look tough, look like you will act toughly and then carry on doing nothing.
I wouldn't consider that a very important reason to vote against them TBH.
The legality makes fuck all difference to me. - especailly if it's only a difference between class c or b.
I imagine the change of class would make fuck all difference to how the police handle things anyway.
You get caught with crack in Howard's Britain, it might be quite a scarey experience...
Economically it makes a difference to you even if you never get busted.
You'll have to pay for the 20,000 extra prison cells and you have to pay for the rise in crime rate which will probably result in this and other Tory policies.
What for people busted for smoking dope?
OK.
But as I said before - whether dope is class b or c matters very little to me. And I don't reckon it makes much difference to the way the police would deal with you.
Bloody Torys.
twenty fucking two thousand new clinics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats about how many petrol stations there are in england!
who how going to pay for this pipe dtream?
gotta be wrong.
and i don't want treating thankyou very much.
a guy with enough stuff in the boot of the car to get five years will take his chance ...if they up the penalty to twenty years ...the copper gets it ...simple.
And then we end up like the USA where cops get in on the drugs business, becasue hte higher the stakes, the higher the prices. And cops see a chance to make money being in on the take, or they can end up dead instead.
thirty years ago cops were busting white guys and selling it to black guys and vice versa.
i myslf stood oin the dock for possesion of an ounce ...i was actualy in possesion of a kilo.
was i going to tell the judge that? i don't think so.
If the law does change back it could well affect you, thousands of people did used to get criminal records for possession, and they could again with the Tories.
All it takes is some bad luck and a mean copper and you're living with that on your record.
As for the treatment centres, that plan is over the course of the parliment and isnt, I believe going to be effective. Forced treatment rarely works.
They should put money into treatment outside of the criminal justice system, so that people can be refered easier and quicker from their GP.
Do you think the difference between class a and b will make a lot of difference in the way the police deal with you?
I don't.
There is also the principle of the thing, everyone knows its purely an election vote grab with no basis in the real harm of the drug. Thats no way to decide policy.
You don't have to take, sell or buy them but the likely hood is that if you already do, then you will continue to. It's your choice to do it so you face the consequences.
But the law is unethical, unproductive and adds to the harm caused rather than lessens it.
they going to wire me up and plug me in?
hypnotise me?
inject me with morphine?
give me cannabis patches?
