Bansturbators of the week

From the BBC:

Council advises ecstasy downgrade

The body that advises the government on illegal drugs is to recommend ecstasy be downgraded to a Class B drug...

The Home Office has made it clear it will reject the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs' recommendation. Last month, the Home Office restored cannabis from Class C to Class B, against the wishes of the advisory council...

The Police Superintendents' Association of England and Wales has expressed opposition to suggestions that ecstasy should be downgraded to a Class B drug...

Shadow home secretary Chris Grayling* said it called into question the government's choice of advisers...


* I hereby withdraw the half-a-cheer I awarded him earlier in the week.

Arbitrary Power is a class A drug.

Shame about Chris Grayling. Over the years I have noticed that he, more often than not, speaks up against the bansturbators. Hopefully he was just having a bad day.

The worst part of all this has been those so called "community leaders" claiming that they (Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs)don't know what they are talikng about.

I'd have thought they were about the only people who do know what they are talking about when it comes to the affect of drugs.
