I'd like to see much tighter controls on the fertilisers and chemicals used on tobacco, so if cannabis were legalised it should have similar laws.
You can grow your own tobacco, its totally legal, all you need to do is report how much you've grown to HM Revenue and Customs and pay duty.
To its credit, the Labour government showed in 2004 that its desire to base decisions on "what works" was not an empty promise and listened to the advice its experts had so consistently been offering. Cannabis was downgraded to a class C drug, although the effect was diluted, by the last minute decision to appease the popular press and maintain police powers of arrest in "special circumstances". Since then, the ACMD has repeatedly been asked to verify its decision by successive home secretaries and has always maintained that the decision to make cannabis a class C drug was the right one.
Following his party's low performance in recent local elections, it is unsurprising that Brown would seek to court public opinion, but by doing so, in this instance, he also runs the risk of alienating some of his core supporters within the scientific community. This reactive agenda valuing tabloid driven moral panic over science and reason is nothing new in drug policy - but it does provide a new low for Brown and his government.
