 Europe: Britain to Reclassify Methamphetamine as Class A Drug
Britain's The Guardian newspaper reported Monday that the government's panel of drug experts, the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD), has recommended that methamphetamine be rescheduled as a Class A drug along with heroin, cocaine, and psychedelics.
Under the Misuse of Drugs Act, methamphetamine is currently a Class B drug, with penalties of up to five years in prison for possession and up to 14 years for dealing.
Class A designation also means police will be able to operate under a lower standard of evidence in prosecuting meth trafficking cases.

 Howstuffworks "Is alcohol more dangerous than ecstasy?"
In Britain, under the Misuse of Drugs Act, illegal drugs (including prescription drugs sold on the street) are classified as A, B or C. Class A is supposed to be the most harmful, and Class C is supposed to be the least harmful.
For instance, heroin is a class A drug, and marijuana is a class C drug.
Drugs that are easily available, legal and non-stigmatized logically will result in more widespread use, more adverse reactions and more money spent on police assistance and/or hospital care as a result of those adverse reactions.

 A Fresh Approach To Clubbers' Drug   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The MPs say that ecstasy is clearly a dangerous drug but in order to cut the number of deaths, advice should be available in clubs on actions to take in order to reduce the risks, such as drinking the right amount of water.
The MPs agreed that as long as ecstasy remained a class A drug, educational warnings about the dangers of drugs such as heroin and cocaine would be discredited.
The change from class A to class B would cut the maximum penalty for ecstasy possession from seven years to five years but in practice would mean that a fine or a police warning would be the most likely result for simple, small-scale possession.

 Guardian | Drinking straws held class A drug
Two drug dealers were jailed yesterday after detectives foiled an ingenious plot to smuggle crack cocaine inside hundreds of drinking straws stuffed into the corrugated folds of a cardboard box.
The drug had been so painstakingly broken down and inserted in the straws it took a forensic scientist 22 hours to extract it all.
He said the case was unusual for the way the drug was hidden in the straws; it was also more common for smugglers to bring pure cocaine into the UK for conversion into three or four times as much crack.

 Transform Drug Policy Foundation: Media Blog: How to spin drug prevelance data: a beginners guide
At its launch in 98 the targets were to 'reduce the proportion of people under the age of 25 reporting the use of Class A drugs by 25% by March 2005, and to reduce the proportion of people under the age of 25 reporting the use of Class A drugs by 50% March 2008'.
That drug stats generally are a minefield to be approached with extreme caution, especially when translated through the prism of political spin or lazy journalism.
Patterns of drug use fluctuate up and down, apparently oblivious to the interventions of Government and enforcement agencies - it is increasingly clear that the key determinants of drug use and misuse (this new document fails to make this important distinction) are socio-economic and cultural ones.

History of drugs policy in the UK The Drugs (Prevention of Misuse) Act 1964 controlled amphetamines in the UK in advance of international agreements and was later used to control LSD.
Supporters of the newer drugs policy tend to believe that criminalising both drug use and possession is the best way to handle the social problems caused by drugs, whereas opponents tend to suggest that criminalising users and dealers alike is counterproductive and detrimental to the health of users.

ATLANTA — The results of a new Phase III clinical trial have demonstrated that a new class of drugs, called "NK-1 receptor antagonists," is more effective at reducing vomiting after surgery than the most commonly used drug, according to the Duke University Medical Center researchers who led the trial.
While the trial found a significant improvement in the incidence of vomiting, there was little difference between the two drugs in reducing nausea.

Drugs Minister Vernon Coaker said the drug, also known as methamphetamine, is to move from class B to class A. Crystal meth is a highly-addictive stimulant which is thought to be most commonly used by gay clubbers.
Ranking the drug as among the most dangerous in the UK means higher penalties for people found in possession or trying to supply crystal meth.
But he said use of the drug in the UK was low and suggestions of an approaching crystal meth "epidemic" would be "without foundation and alarmist".
