Drugs comments on Premier Radio.

Starts: Thursday 03 Apr 2008, 11:48AM - Ends: Tuesday 08 Apr 2008, 11:49AM

I read in the press this morning that the advisory council are suggesting that Cannabis should remain as a Class C drug, and not be upgraded to a Class B drug, which some are suggesting. It's a debate that has been raging for some time.

Cannabis was re-classified from Class B to Class C in January 2004, meaning that the penalties changed (I've put them below for you to have a look at).

MAXIMUM DRUG PENALTIES

Class A: Seven years for possession, life for supplying

Class B: Five years for possession, 14 for supplying

Class C: Two years for possession, 14 for supplying

So what do I think about this? Well Cannabis is harmful, there's no doubt about that at all. Every study, every report seems to confirm that using Cannabis is bad for you. It's more likely to lead to Cancerous diseases, burns at a higher temperature than Tobacco, and is full of mroe toxins - but sadly the worst of its effects perhaps is that it is linked to various conditions of mental illness.

Strangely enough this week I've had conversations with 2 friends, both of whom are struggling with their friends who are serious Cannabis users - they're using Skunk a strong and more dangerous form of the drug.........and for both of the actual users, there are some developing issues of mental illness.

Now I could never give medical advice and neither could this website or the Diocese, but the facts are plain for all to see.

But there's another angle too isn't there? Why (in a world where if we ever needed to stand up and be counted.......now is the time), do we want to use a drug which essentially relaxes us, and messes with our heads?? It takes away our ability to fight against wrong, to battle with everyday life decisions, to make good choices. Why would we want to do that then I wonder?

If it were down to me I guess I would want to ask some questions about what it says to the world if we keep Cannabis as a class C drug - don't we then say that actually it's safe when it's plainly not??

The Diocese of Leicester would like to make it clear that Cannabis use is illegal.
