Toke Pot

Well actually this news came out a few weeks ago in the UK but is still an important point to be raised on how cannabis is viewed by different countries and governments.

David Nutt a top drugs scientist for the UK government openly said that his children have tried Cannabis and that it was less harmful than alcohol and tobacco, and that it has been wrongly upgraded to class B from C. So you must be thinking great! Now just like in America how they have Obama in favour of legalizing marijuana the same will happen in the UK…. well no! He was sacked by the home secretary Alan Johnson which also resulted in another two collegues voluntarily leaving as a sign of denial of free speach and for Nutt acting like a true scientist.

It sure does not look like the UK will be legalizing cannabis anytime soon and this brings back home that the legalization movement in the US is based on totally different conditions than simple legalization. The UK and many other countries do not have crime levels associated with marijuana or problems with cartels like the US so therefore have greater resources to tackle the issue whereas the US has not legalized it for medical use in order to free up resources to go after the big organised crime groups.
