UK Government proposes to scrap need for scientific advice on drugs policy

Ministers will not be required to seek the advice of scientists when making drug classification policy in future, under new government proposals.
The police reform and social responsibility bill, published last week, contains an amendment to the constitution of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) that would remove the requirement on the home secretary to appoint at least six scientists to the committee.
A further amendment to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 would allow the home secretary to place temporary controls on substances for a year by statutory instrument.
The proposals will be of concern to the many doctors and scientists who have criticised the government's treatment of scientific evidence in the wake of the sacking, last year, of ACMD chairman David Nutt. The then home secretary, Alan Johnson, removed Nutt from the post after the scientist criticised politicians for distorting research evidence and claiming alcohol and tobacco were more harmful than some illegal drugs, including LSD, ecstasy and cannabis......

The countries going to utter shit! Was at the shop yesterday, nie peaceful shopping centre, hot food market stalls, familes and children, and half a dozen mounted police, officers on patrol in riot gear, wtf!..

Thinking about getting a 1 year Canadian work visa

Those cops are so you ca nget used to the NWO goons, I wonder if they will at least feed you before gassing you in the FEMA camps.

It seems in fear of more protesting. The city had had a lot of small scale protests here and there that the police were apparently getting eather pissed off withm, made a statement telling the students to stop being annoying and consult with the police prior to protesting, lol, fat chance. So yeah, they can run their budget into the ground, i hear there is already talk about reversing the police budget cut decision

They ent getting me used to nothing, just a bunch of people in odd looking costumes Been really enjoying the love police of late great little 10 minute happy feel good stoner friendly "anarchists" before bed

Indeed the very idea that it's lawful and legal for us to protest, but the police will kettle us for hours if we do is quite an amusing concept. "Sure, protest all you like, excersize your rights, we'll imprisson you the moment you start but hey, you can still protest at the same time yeah?"

wankers.........
