Gordon Brown's tough stance on cannabis - The Telegraph - 9th January 2008

Cannabis is expected to be reclassified as a class B drug as part of Gordon Brown's drive to show Labour's softer line on some drug use is over, it was reported. This will mean people found in possession of the drug could face a five-year jail term and an unlimited fine. The Prime Minister signalled in July his intention to reverse the former home secretary David Blunkett's decision to reclassify cannabis as a class C drug in 2001 - a decision that came into force three years later. He ordered a review by the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs and let it be known he wanted a toughening of the drugs laws.
