UK Cannabis Laws Relaxed

Just in off the BBC Cannabis is being dropped from a class B drug to a class C drug with a similar drop in penalty for possession.

BBC: Cannabis Laws to Be eased

Now the thing thats doing my head in is that Peter bloody Lilly seems to be leading the charge from the legalise cannbis lobby. Whats going on with that, Conservatives getting down with the kids or are they following the american libertarian agenda?

Also check those BBC graphics on 'how drugs are classified' heavy man :-)

Years ago the young conservatives were very keen on legalization on a double agenda of libertarianism and freeing up the business interests to create a viable tax stream.

I've always prefered decriminalization to legalization on the grounds that the conservatives have done more harm to society than international crimo's and are best kept away from my hobbies and interests.

My Dad reminded me of the Gay sex on a train rumours when Peter Lilley and Micheal Portaloo were allegedly found sharing a bed on a sleeper, and suggested they were simply spliffing up. An endearing image.

In Brixton for the last 6 mts or so there has been a very relaxed policy from the police over cannibis...Theres talk of Brixton becoming Londons 'Amsterdam" with coffee houses and such when the laws get relaxed enough...

Lot's of happy faces down Coldhabour Lane...

To be honest i've never got really exited about 'Leagalise Cannibis' campaigns or demos etc...I'm all for leagalising it but theres more important things to go and shout about...

And i've been to one too many parties that degenerates into making love with the sofa and stereo...

I feel the same about fox hunting

More Crack i think is needed...Wake your lazy stoner arses up...

The Rationale Behind This:

"Shut up about the war, lefties, and have a spliff."

he he, yeah. Aren't governments being so obvious about their sinister manoeuvring these days?

Ahhh, but that's where they screwed up. They think if we're stoned we'll stop protesting. But they're wrong. We'll just protest, like, really earnestly, man, in between munchie runs and attacks of the giggles.

'In other news, bio-terror attacks took on a new twist today when ten pounds of homegrown marijuana was burnt in the air conditioning system of the Houses of Parliament.'

Sorry, blame my weekend in Glasgow watching 'Saving Grace', and a couple of Cheech and Chong movies. I have stoner ex-flatmates.

Perhaps it's some kind of smokescreen?

The Mail has been half-hearted in it's condemnation as if it realises that chances are most of it's readership reads it over a spliff anyway.

I woudn't say that our cannabis laws have been relaxed, exactly. They're more sort of sitting on the chintz sofa, sipping weak Earl Grey tea, and trying to find something nice to say about the curtains.

It'll be another ten years before any pot laws are relaxed here in the US.

Strange, since nearly 70% of the population admits to having tried it one time or another.
