Professor David Nutt the UK's chief drugs adviser has been sacked after earlier today accusing government ministers of devaluing and distorting evidence! [shock horror...no surprise, would government ministers do that?] He also said the drugs classification system was being used in a "political way", so Labour Home Secretary Alan Johnson ousted him from the post (Nutt had been critical of the decision to upgrade the classification of cannabis). What a hash; or what a dope? What do you think, was this a good idea? Keep off the grass!
Update: Nutt nuts nutty Brown.

Well you've saved me my Monday post! The letter from Alan Johnson was most bizarre, why employ somebody for advice only to sack them when they give advice you don't like?
Interesting to see the 'league table' of drugs in the Independent yesterday based on the opinions of professors who know about these things. I have a feeling whoever follows David Nutt's role as advisor will have to be a 'yes man.'
