The language used makes it all so ambiguous. What is the status of the bill; is it shut down? is it just waiting for the next parliament session?
It says "The 2015-16 session of parliament has ended..." what does that mean? no more parliament until 2017? its so confusing for anybody who doesn't study politics. The government website says that "This Bill is being prepared for publication." under the 'Bill Latest' heading ( http://services.parliament.uk/bills/...egulation.html ). Is the website just outdated or is there still traction with this bill?
Everything Norman Lamb states is too true about ordinary people being criminalised for self medicating or casual use of marijuana. Prohibition has never worked historically, its always caused criminal business to boom. I'm surprised that MP's believe the current system of prohibition is working in the UK, Its just Naive. It does so much damage to peoples health not knowing what they are buying and what effects it will have. Why are UK citizens forced to drink alcohol if you want to get legally intoxicated. Whats so special about alcohol over any other drug? Alcohol is just as bad or even more terrible for the body and psyche. This bill really needs to get moving forward or be re-started, which ever needs to happen.
If anyone has any information on this Bill's progress or can explain whats happening with it i would appreciate it.
Thanks,
