 The Government’s mixed message on drugs is a dangerous signal
The reclassification of cannabis from Class B to Class C takes effect today, meaning that from now on, anyone found in possession of the drug will be cautioned rather than arrested.
Indeed, recent research reveals that nine out of ten children believe cannabis is legal, which presumably explains why the Government is currently spending over a million pounds to remind people that it is not.
Unfortunately, the Government has arrived at neither position, and is pursuing a confused policy that claims cannabis is illegal, but that those caught using it will be let off without prosecution.

 Harris Interactive | The Harris Poll - Public Attitudes Still Mixed Though Shifting About the War in Iraq, According to ...
Clearly a 59 to 39 percent majority believes that "what we were told by the government before the war about weapons of mass destruction and links to Al Qaeda" was "misleading," up from September when a 55 to 36 percent majority felt this way.
But by 53 to 46 percent, a majority (albeit not large) believe that the U.S. government tried to present the information about weapons of mass destruction "accurately" and did not try to "deliberately exaggerate" the reports.
Though the public is still somewhat divided and has mixed feelings about Iraq, the last few weeks of campaigning and media attention have perhaps triggered a need for them to take a closer look at events in Iraq.
