Cannabis laws set to be reviewed大麻法律定予检讨

Laws making possession of cannabis a largely non-arrestable offence could be reversed, Gordon Brown has said. 法律，使藏大麻的一个主要的非可逮捕的罪行是可以逆转的，英国财政大臣布朗曾表示。

The prime minister told MPs a consultation on reclassifying cannabis will be launched next week as part of a review of the entire UK drugs strategy.首相向国会议员协商，重新分类大麻，将在下周举行的一个组成部分检讨整个英国的禁毒战略。

The drug was downgraded to class C - which includes things such as anabolic steroids - from class B, which includes things like amphetamines, in 2004.毒品被降级到丙类-其中包括的东西，如合成代谢类固醇-从B级，其中包括一些如安非他明，在2 0 04年。

But there are fears more harmful forms of the drug have become available.但专家担心，更具危害性形式的药物，已成为可用。

A Home Office spokesman said the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) will be asked to review reports that danger from cannabis is increasing due to wider availability of more potent strains such as “skunk”.内政部发言人说，咨询委员会对滥用药物（ acmd ）将被要求检讨报告，这种危险来自大麻是越来越多，由于更广泛地提供更有力的菌株，如"臭鼬" 。

There is concern stronger varieties of the drug can cause mental health problems.有人担心较强品种的药物可引起心理健康问题。

Medicinal use 医药用途

Mr Brown said the Cabinet had discussed the issue and Home Secretary Jacqui Smith would publish a consultation document next week about the UK drugs strategy.布朗先生说，内阁讨论了这个问题，英国内政大臣杰葵史密斯将发表一份咨询文件将于下周对英国的禁毒战略。

Mr Brown told MPs at prime minister’s questions: “She will be asking the public to comment on new ways in which we can improve drugs education in the country, give support to people undergoing treatment… and give support for communities who want to chase out drug dealers from their communities.”布朗先生说，国会议员在总理的问题： "她将要求公众就新的方法，使我们可以提高药物的教育，在国家，支持的人正在接受治疗… …并给予支持，为社区的人要追出毒贩，从他们的社区" 。

He was responding to a question from Labour MP Martin Salter who, referring to the medicinal use of cannabis, urged a drugs policy that did not “criminalise the sick but tackles the drugs that do the most harm”.他是在回应一个问题，由劳动国会议员李柱铭萨尔特人，是指药品的使用大麻，敦促毒品政策，并没有"列为刑事罪行有病，但在对付毒品，不损害最为严重" 。

The issue of downgrading - or even decriminalising - cannabis - has proved controversial and has already been reviewed once by the Home Office.问题的降级-或什至d ecriminalising-大麻-已证明是有争议的，而且已经检讨一次，由民政办公室。

Urgent research 紧急研究

The original move from Class B to Class C was made when David Blunkett was home secretary.原来，从B级到C级了，当布伦基特是英国内政大臣。

His successor Charles Clarke asked for a review in 2005.他的继任者查尔斯克拉克要求检讨在2005年。

At that time the ACMD said that while cannabis was undoubtedly harmful it was still less harmful than other drugs like amphetamines which are in Class B. It recommended no change.在那个时候， acmd表示，虽然大麻无疑是有害的，它仍在危害较小，比其他药物如安非他命，这是B班它建议有任何改变。

But it also called for urgent further research on the potency and pattern of cannabis use.但它也呼吁采取紧急进一步研究潜能和模式使用大麻。

If the ACMD were to back a change in classification and the Home Office accepted its recommendation, it would require agreement of both houses of Parliament to become law.如果acmd要回了变化分类及民政办公室接受了它的建议，它需要在双方同意下两院议长，以正式成为法律。

Potent varieties 烈性品种

A Home Office spokesman said: “We will be asking the ACMD to review the classification of cannabis, given the increase in strength of some cannabis strains and their potential harms.内政部发言人说： "我们将要求acmd审查分类大麻，由于增加强度的一些大麻菌株及其潜在危害。

“It would be wrong to prejudge that review which shows how seriously we take our priority of reducing drug-related harm.” "这将是错误的判断该检讨这表明如何严重，我们采取我们的首要任务，减少与毒品有关的伤害" 。

The Home Office’s drugs information website, Frank, includes details of new more potent varieties of cannabis.民政厅的药品信息网站，坦白说，包括详细的新的更有力的品种的大麻。

It says: “Recently, there have been various forms of herbal or grass-type cannabis that are generally found to be stronger than ordinary ‘weed’, containing on average two to three times the amount of the active compound, THC.它说： "最近，有各种形式的草本或草型大麻是普遍被查出有强于普通'杂草' ，就含有平均2时58倍信息量的活性化合物，货柜码头处理费。

“These include sinsemilla (a bud grown in the absence of male plants and which has no seeds), homegrown, skunk (which has a particular strong smell) and netherweed.” "这些措施包括sinsemilla （一芽生长，在没有雄性植物，并没有种子） ，自产，臭鼬（其中有一个特别强烈的臭味）和netherweed " 。
