Reasoning The Wootton Report of 1968 concluded that cannabis smoking is basically harmless. A British Medical Association report of 2007 reported that cannabis can have a therapeutic value in the treatment of certain medical conditions. Another independent study by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation in 2002 concluded that relaxing the cannabis laws and reclassifying it as a Class C drug could save the police £38 million a year and improve relations between the police and the community. Yet today it is still classified as a Class B drug; it is illegal to grow, possess or supply the drug. If caught in possession, offenders can be jailed for 5 years; 14 years for trafficking. The number of adults using the drug has doubled in the last decade to around 4 million. They consume around 800 tonnes and spend £3.5 billion every year. The main argument against the use of cannabis is that it can lead on to the use of harder drugs.
