Gordon Brown encouraged the sacking of the UK’s former chief drugs adviser, Professor David Nutt, for trying to introduce an element of truth into the political process.
Professor Nutt was sacked for using scientific research and empirical evidence to suggest that drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes was far more harmful than chilling out with the odd camberwell carrot.
Nutt used a letter to the Guardian to outline extensive research which had shown that cannabis posed significantly less risk than than previously thought, also suggesting that the government were a bunch of fucking idiots for raising it to a Category B drug.
