It's reminiscent of how the UK in the early (Blair) years in 2001 tried to be progressive by changing marijhuana to class C (from Class B).

Unfortunately the desiccated old prunes in the establishment had a fit over it and coughed up their gin (irony means nothing to them).

So Blair took the orders from his masters and put it back to Class B in 2005 despite all rational medical evidence and rational arguments against it.

Typical government behaviour.

I talk about these sorts of issues in one of my posts from last week : "Why Banning Drugs Doesn't Work and Never Will"

The wholes situation is ridiculous, counterproductive and only serves to increase harm and waste money.

Wait I forgot, governments seem to specialise in doing those things!
