The funny thing about is that the police have already said that the reclassification won't alter the confiscate-and-slap-on-the-wrist approach they've taken since it was originally downgraded to class C a few years back. And that the government's own Misuse of Drugs advisory panel recommended it should remain class C and that there is no medical case to the contrary - in reality, the number of schizophrenia cases referred by doctors in the UK has decreased rather than increased over the past 10 years, as has the proportion of teenagers who smoke it.
It's just one part of a transparent policy grab by a beleagured and terminally wounded government desperate to curry favour with the all-important electoral demographic of concerned Daily Mail-reading Middle-England parents.
But don't let reality puncture these anecdotal tales of idiots turning into tree-stumps now, will ya...
