Drugs classification should be scrapped, experts say

A leading think-tank has called for the Government’s system of drugs
classification to be scrapped.

The UK Drugs Policy Commission says classifying illegal drugs on a
“danger scale” of classes A, B or C needs to be overhauled because
they do not affect drug use.

The news comes ahead of a meeting this Friday when the Home Office’s
independent Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs will discuss whether
to downgrade ecstasy from class A.

Ecstasy remains the third most popular illicit drug in Britain, with five
per cent of young adults aged 16 to 24 saying they have used it in the
last year.

The council, which is made up of 21 academics and drugs experts, provides
advice to Governments on illegal drug use and is expected to recommend
downgrading the drug from A to B.
