Gov set to defy its own experts and upgrade cannabis政务一套无视自己的专家和升级大麻
By通过 Alan Travis 梁家杰特拉维斯 | The home secretary, Jacqui Smith, will today stress the dangers of more potent strains of cannabis as she is expected to defy medical opinion by announcing that the drug will be upgraded from class C to class B. |民政司， jacqui史密斯，将今天强调，危险更烈性株大麻，因为她是预期藐视医学专家的意见，宣布该药物将升格为C类，以一流的乙
Smith is expected to justify her decision by highlighting the strength of “skunk” strains of herbal cannabis now widely available.史密斯是预期的理由，她决定突出强度的“臭鼬”株草本大麻，现在广泛使用的。 Gordon Brown last week warned of the “more lethal quality” of much of the cannabis now available, described it as a gateway drug, and said that reclassification was needed to “send a message to young people that it was unacceptable”.财政大臣布朗上周提出警告， “更致命的质量”大部分的大麻，现已，形容这是作为一个网关的药物，并表示改叙，需要“传送讯息给年轻的人，这是不可接受的” 。
The decision flies in the face of recommendations to be published today by the government’s scientific experts, the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, that cannabis should remain class C.决定苍蝇，在面对的建议，要在今日出版的由政府的科学专家，咨询会就滥用药物，大麻应保持工人阶级长
The ACMD was asked last July by Smith to take their third look at cannabis classification in recent years.该acmd有人问去年7月，由史密斯采取他们的第三看看大麻分类，在最近几年。 While acknowledging that cannabis use had fallen significantly since David Blunkett’s decision in 2004 to downgrade cannabis from class B to class C, she said there was real public concern about the potential mental health effects, particularly of stronger forms.虽然承认使用大麻已大幅下降以来，布伦基特的决定，在2004年降级大麻从B级到C级，她说有真正的公众关注的潜在的心理健康造成不良影响，特别是强有力的形式。
The ACMD held a special session in February and heard evidence that 80% of cannabis seized from users was of the herbal variety rather than resin.该acmd举行了一次特别会议在二月，并听取了证据表明， 80 ％的大麻，检获从用户的中草药品种，而非树脂。 Experts said the potency of homegrown herbal cannabis tended to be two and a half times that of imported resin.专家称，效力国产草本大麻往往是两年半倍，进口树脂。 But they said users now often moderated their intake.但他们说现在的用户往往缓和他们的摄入量。
They were also told that the incidence of new schizophrenia cases reported to GPs had gone down, not up, between 1998 and 2005, indicating a weak link between increased potency and use in the past two decades and mental health problems.他们也说，发生新的精神分裂症患者举报的案件，以全球定位系统减少了，没有了，在1998年至2005年，这表明一个薄弱环节之间增加效和使用在过去20年里和精神健康问题。
The Association of Chief Police Officers confirmed to the Guardian last week that they intend to retain their “confiscate and warn” policy for most who are found with a small amount of cannabis, although some chief constables want to see a fine imposed instead.该协会的首席警官证实监护人上周表示，他们打算保留其“没收，并警告”的政策，最是谁发现少量大麻，虽然有些行政治安官希望看到一个被判处的最高罚款。
It is expected that reclassification will, however, lead to tougher enforcement in cases where there are aggravating factors such as public disorder or evidence of organised crime, for example involvement in large-scale cannabis growing.可以预料，改叙会，不过，导致更严厉的执法行动的情况下，有加剧等因素，扰乱公共秩序或证据，有组织罪案，例如参与在大型大麻越来越大。 Since cannabis was downgraded in 2004 the proportion of young people using it has fallen each year from 25.3% in 2003-4 to 20.9% now.由于大麻被降级，在2004年的比例，年轻的人使用它下降，每年从25.3 ％ ，在2003-4到现在的20.9 ％ 。 Among those aged 16 to 59, the proportion over the same period has fallen from 10.8% to 8.2%, according to the British Crime Survey.其中那些年龄在16岁至59岁，这一比例较上年同期下降，从10.8 ％ ， 8.2 ％ ，据英国犯罪调查。
Campaigners for drug law reform have questioned the relevance of the drug classification system, which dates back to 1971.运动药物法改会已经提出质疑的相关药物的分类系统，该系统可以追溯到1971年。
Roger Howard, chief executive of the UK Drug Policy Commission, and a former government drugs adviser, said last week that this case underlined the muddle at the heart of government over the purpose of a drug classification system which was unlikely ever to be able to “send a message to young people”.陆观霍华德，行政长官的英国药物政策委员会，和前政府的药物顾问上周说，这种情况下强调蒙混过关，处于核心地位，政府的目的，药物分级制度，这是不可能以往任何时候都能够“传送讯息给年轻的人“ 。 Since cannabis had moved from class B to class C, the number of schoolchildren who think it is fine to try cannabis had halved, he said.由于大麻从B级到C级，有多少学童谁认为这是良好的尝试大麻已减少了一半，他说。
Brown’s decision to overturn the advice of his own drug experts by pressing ahead with a tougher policy on cannabis could still face a high court challenge from campaigners.布朗的决定推翻的意见，他自己的毒品专家出席会议提前一个强硬的政策对大麻的可能仍然要面对高等法院的挑战，从运动。 Any such challenge would have to demonstrate that ministers took the decision to upgrade cannabis without fully considering the ACMD’s report.任何这类的挑战，便须证明，部长们决定，以提升大麻，没有充分考虑acmd的报告。 The Guardian understands that at the ACMD meeting, the 23 medical and drug experts heard a presentation on the possible mental health impacts of stronger cannabis from psychologist Dr Martin Frisher of Keele University pharmacy school.监护人了解到，在acmd次会议上， 23个医疗和药物专家听取了关于可能的心理健康状况的影响更强的大麻由心理学家博士李柱铭frisher的基尔大学药剂学校。 The presentation used unpublished data from a confidential report he has drawn up for the Home Office.演示使用的未公布的数据，从一份机密报告，他已经制定了为家庭办公室。
He and his colleague, Professor Ilana Crome of Keele’s academic psychiatry unit, used data from 183 GP practices across Britain between 1996 and 2005 to work out whether schizophrenia is on the rise, and whether it can be linked to the increase in cannabis use since the 1970s.他和他的同事，教授ilana crome基尔的精神病学学术单位，使用的数据由183 GP的做法，英国在1996年至2005年的工作，是否精神分裂症正在崛起，以及它能否挂钩的增加，使用大麻自1970年代以来。
Their paper found that between 1996 and 2005 there had been significant reductions in the prevalence of schizophrenia.他们的文件，发现在1996年至2005年已显着减少普遍存在的精神分裂症。 From 2000 onwards there were also significant reductions in the prevalence of psychosis.从2000年起，也有显着减少的流行精神病。
The authors say this data is “not consistent with the hypothesis that increasing cannabis use in earlier decades is associated with increasing schizophrenia or psychoses from the mid-1990s onwards”.作者说，这个数据是“不相符的假设，即增加使用大麻在几十年前是有联系的日益增加的精神分裂症或精神病，从20世纪90年代中期开始” 。
