BBC News are expecting that the cannabis reclassification decision will happen shortly. There's only one good outcome: they'll leave it how it is. Which, in the grand scheme of things, is bad. But it's better than them doing anything. The only problem with cannabis is the possibility of getting locked up for using it. The best thing this government could do would be to legalise it completely tommorow. Any politician standing in my local area who promised to legalise cannabis completely - and signed a legal document stating the fact - would get my vote, and the vote of everybody I herded to the voting booth. Instead, anybody who wants to change their consciousness has to risk their liberty doing so. 
The Government have waffled on, since the Licensing Act, about wanting to cultivate a "cafe culture" rather than a happy-hour culture (I'll ignore the fact that, like community, the word culture is vastly overused). They want people to drink responsibly. You know what would make a big dent on that? Legalising Mary Jane would do a hell of a lot to help that. How many fights do you think the Amsterdam police have to break up in the coffeeshops?
David Cameron ought to get on with his promises. A Tory party who wanted to legalise drugs and cut back public spending. That would get me to the polls. We should totally ignore the UN and the WHO and traditional opinion. Cannabis must be legalised.
