Talk about shooting the messanger!

The Government's drugs tsar was forced to resign last night for stating his view that cannabis, ecstasy and LSD were less harmful than the legal drugs tobacco and alcohol.


The Home Secretary Alan Johnson asked Professor David Nutt to resign as chairman of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD), saying he had "lost confidence" in his ability to give impartial advice.

Yet again our thicko politicians ignore sensible advice just to keep on the good side of the blue rinse brigade. The issue of prohibition on drugs has been shown to be idiotic. If it's too big a leap to de-criminalise hard drugs, at least give some proper consideration to the effect of criminalising soft drugs. The money saved on policing alone would buy an aircraft carrier. Or a bank.
