Jacqui Smith, the home secretary who admitted to smoking cannabis a number of times during the '80s whilst attending Oxford, has decided to change cannabis back to a class B drug. Apparently, cannabis smoking has "given her the experiences to understand that she wants crime tackled". Well, I'm glad that you had that opportunity, Ms Smith. Aren't you lucky? Now, how about leaving that opportunity open to others so they can have the set of experiences in life that they desire, rather than threatening to kidnap (arrest) them? If you're willing to break the law in order to try something new, why the fuck do you expect anyone else to pay attention to it, you nanny-statist bitch? Are you the only one who gets to break the law in order to have a good time?

There's a quote from one of the Drugs Council's members (the drug council that advised keeping it class C) saying "The government may want to take other matters into account. That's their right. They are the government." NO. You don't get to make random, staggering, idiotic decisions completely unfounded in evidence simply because you're the government. That's complete bollocks, and it really worries me that anyone on a supposedly independent council would say anything like that.

It seems that Gordon Brown is at least as retarded as Jacqui Smith. Either he's a liar or a moron as, in a recent interview, he described cannabis as "lethal". Mr Brown, if you can point to a single case in the world's medical literature in which anyone died as a direct result of cannabis consumption, then I'll take all this back, but I suspect you don't know what you're talking about. Perhaps you'd like to take it up with Dr Lester Grinspoon, Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Med School, who doesn't seem to share your opinion. Or you could take a look at your own government's death statistics. Perhaps you don't want to, because you know you're a goddamn liar and you don't care as long as you can get some votes from people who also have no idea what they're talking about. Either way, you're not qualified to be making this decision, which compounds with the fact that nobody in this country has voted for you to be in power. The one thing you've managed throughout your pathetic stint in office is to make me long for the at least mildly endearing lies and spin of Blair. Reason explains more.
