wondering about uk law rethink
    #5921208 - 08/01/06 07:34 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

i've been hearing about this new system of classifying drugs based on harm rather than legality.

was wondering whether it will actually come into place in the uk,if it will be based on real fact AND if this will be a positive thing for drug users.

what does everyone think?

The Home Office science select committee report is available on the BBC website here:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/31_07_06_drugsreport.pdf


Effectively they've re-assessed controlled substances as well as alcohol and tobacco in terms of their effects on the individual and on society as a whole. LSD/Psilocybin/MDMA are rated as less harmful than alcohol and tobacco. I think anything that gives people the true scientific perspective on the harm of drugs has got to be positive, even though there are no plans to replace the existing classifications.

Despite the report strongly suggesting that the clarification of the 2005 psilocybin ban was hurried and inappropriate, there's not really an organized enough lobbying committee to keep it on the agenda. The government will be quite happy to ignore this report and move on.
