Europe: British Home Secretary's Firing of Drug Advisor Continues to Reverberate

http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/608/br...

Three more members of the British government's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) quit Tuesday night after meeting with Home Secretary Alan Johnson in the wake of his firing of ACMD head Professor David Nutt. That brings to five the number of ACMD members who have resigned since Johnson fired Nutt two weeks ago for criticizing the government's reclassification of marijuana in the face of the ACMD's considered opinion that there was no evidence to justify reclassification.

Kudos to those who have chose to 'stand up' and be counted. If more people would 'stand up', the 'war' on cannabis would end!
