As some of you might have noticed Professor Nutt suggested in an academic paper something which is as close to fact as you can get with statistics. Taking esctacy and horse riding are roughly comparable risks. However given this actually moves the debate on drugs and their risks forward it has been shouted down by the Home Office in case anyone thinks seriously about how rubbish the current system is.
They have also suggested that MDMA be moved down to Class B, but apparently that would encourage use. Which doesnt hold any water because cannabis use went down when it was effectively decriminalised in large parts of the country.
Apparently there is a review of LSD coming up too, I'd be surprised if the council decides that deserves a Class A status.
Is it now time to disband the Home Office?

And replaced with whom? Personally I'd like to see Chris Hume (sp?) as PM and Vince Cable as Chancelor based on the evidence that they are the only two who actually know what the hell they are talking about.
I think LSD is probably deserving of class A. I know it's pretty much completely non toxic on the body but on the mind......
My one experience with it was not good while I was on it, even though I was in a supposedly good setting for taking it.
It wasn't even that bad a trip, I knew I was going to be okay, that the effects would wear off etc, but that was all down to my own knowledge of drugs; someone with not so much knowledge, or worse, someone who got drugged without knowing. I can't even imagine the terror.
But for me it was the weeks afterwards that were the worst. I didn't feel right at all. I felt like I'd lost my soul. I think it was a couple of months before I felt completely like myself again.
Not the mind opening experience I was hoping for.
It's a personal choice to take a drug, if someone wants to experience it they most likely will sometime in their life, regardless of legal class.
Oh I completely agree.
All I think is that if something such as LSD was downgraded, the uneducated may really underestimate its power and get themselves into a situation they would really rather not be in.
At least as a class A you can hope it might make people do their research before they take it - putting them in a much better position if they then decide they still want to take it.
But then again, I certainly think people should do their research before they take ecstasy (to avoid such incidences such as Leah Betts), and I don't think that should be Class A....
proven medicinal uses for Marijuana??? Unseen...
Why? because they can't throw up their arms and admit
God made it grow here for a reason.
