In the UK we have an incompetant Home Secretary called Jacquie Smith who totally lacks any clear vision; for example, she recently started an experiment where the police harass youths who are just hanging around and committing no offences, without thinking of the conseqencies. And that's only one example! We also have a government appointed Expert Committee on Drugs comprising members who are truely experts in their field and intelligent. Canabis was recently downgraded from Group B to Group C, but Ms Smith has now upgraded it to Group B again, against the advice of the Expert Committee. This Committee recently reported on ecstacy but Ms Smith announced she would ignore their findings even before they were published! They recommended it be downgraded from the current Group A (with heroin etc) to Group B (with amphetamines) but, as promised, this advice was ignored. I despair!
