A report on the 2008 Drug Strategy Consultation and Views on Reclassifying
Cannabis to a Class B drug. 56-page PDF [Home Office, UK].
http://drugs.homeoffice.gov.uk/publication-search/cannabis/cannabis-response?view=Binary
So much for the press reports that the majority of respondents to this
survey wanted reclassification to class B. The figures are:
Reclassify B: 121/639 19%
Leave C: 278/639 44%
Legalise: 124/639 19%
Undecided: 116/639 18%
Only 19% wanted reclassification. A listening Government, my arse!
7. The Government is consulting on whether to make cannabis a Class B drug
(it is currently Class C) which could mean tougher penalties. What are
your views?
Yes - No
