UK legalize Cannabis and drugs club

In an upcoming Home Office rethink of drugs policy, cannabis and other 'club drugs' could be made legal.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has actioned a review which is set to be released before the end of the year and could follow on from the laws passed in American states Colorado and Washington DC, where the recreational use of marijuana is legal.

The reform is being proposed by the Lib Dem minister for drugs policy Norman Baker and follows on from an investigation that his predecessor Jeremy Browne conducted.

Cannabis currently sits at Class B on the UK classification charts with MDMA and Ecstasy both at Class A but Browne's investigation involved travelling to Canada, Japan South Korea and America to seek out "imaginative" solutions for illegal drugs.

Browne took particular interest in New Zealand's recent experimentation with club drugs where drug designers are being given the opportunity to gain permission and a license for their product if they can show that the pills and chemicals are safe for the user.

This is likely to cause argument within parliament and although we're unlikely to see any change in the near future, it's certainly a step in the right direction to make the UK a safer and more educated place with regards to drug use.

Out of all the respondents in our annual Global Drugs Survey, as much as 78.8% had smoked cannabis in the last year.
