This bit made me laugh:
But the Labour party denounced the move, saying the Liberal Democrats had "lost touch with the real world" where drugs policy is concerned.

I have no problem E going to a class B
I think jail sentences for possesion of all drugs shud be abolished, but only up to a certain limit for the drugs.
Many lifes have been runied coz sum1 has gone to jail for being caught with as little as 5 pills just for personal use.
I think letting ppl off with a caution for having recreational amounts of drugs, 0-15 pills, 1-2 gram of coke etc, would be a wise move.
But dispite this i still feel that if a drug dealer was ever caught (say with house full of pills, speed, coke etc, i still feel that these people shud do proper time in jail (many many years)
no, it would become cheaper <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Typical government scaremongering, and they accuse the LibDems of been out of touch... <IMG SRC="mad.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
I read an article in the paper a few weeks ago that talked about the £19 billion spent every year on drug related crimes, a lot of this could be saved if money wasn't wasted on punishing people who only had an eighth of weed or a couple of pills on them.
if the government has any sense, of them <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> safe, taxable & no criminal element <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
hope so <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Exactly!!
Without the user they'd be no dealer so in one way you could say we the user are to blame. Granted, they're in it for the money but without them we'd have no drugs (not a good scenario in my book <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">). Whether they're in it for the money or not, when it comes down to it they're risking they're freedom to supply us with substances that make us feel good.
Dealers arn't evil and in my experience they certainly don't push drugs and if laws are to be relaxed on the user they should be relaxed on the dealer too.
I think what i meant by it was if i was the government id try and attack, get and punish the dealers severly rather than just people caught with possession
bah!
