yes and the good professor is researching for a drug that will get people drunk without hangovers or overdose risk, THEN he'll be rich

What an absolute farce. Yet again the BBC show how out of touch they are. When they make 'factual documentaries' about religion do they go and only get interviews and opinions from extremists too? The reporter had obviously done no research whatsoever in the subject he was being paid to investigate ('..can I get high from the smell....?'!!!) and ... See Moresubsequently goes and interviews a 'former user' that was blatantly fabricating horror stories, his friend having effects for 3 days?!!!! Pure science fiction. Just sums up the Governments approach to Drug Research, pathetic.

The Cards won for us - and I bought the T-Shirt!

Actually, we would quite like to buy some badges and wrist bands too!

Dai Davis! Blaenau Gwent's yours for the taking. Many thanks for the swift response. Under an hour. =]
I'll be lording this man up "Big Time" next election.

just to play devil's advocate for a bit...do we want Prof Nutt reinstated? maybe if more ACMD council members resign instead, and the whole thing becomes unworkable, it will be even more embarrassing for Gvt, and they will be forced to behave differently? just a thought...

Aye what would the point be of reinstating him, would they also start to follow his advice?

Absolutely! No one will hear our voices if we remain quiet! I hope more of my contacts take the time to notice the good work you guys are doing.

if we can get massive support fast it will get extra publicity and grow even faster than weed!

What a can of worms the NUTT case has opened!!!

What is astonishing is how government and their supporters have the cheek to fudge the real issues here. Yes, these top scientists' expertise is confined to assessing all aspects of the harms issues. Politicians - especially ideologically puritanical or weakly populist ones like ours - may very well feel obliged to follow other priorities when ... See Moremaking law. But they are caught by their own shoe-laces here, since the law requires assignment of a drug to classes A to C to be decided objectively via harm assessments. Political rhetoric like invoking the alleged extra dangers of new strains of skunk - something only the experts can and did assess - directly challenge the advisers' own expertise, so are a totally intolerable affront to independent science itself.
