Cannabis is to be reclassified as a class B drug, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has said, after Tony Blair had relaxed it to class C

It should stay as it was. I don’t think it will make a difference.

Before I knew how bad it was I would have said leave it. Now I think it should be a class A drug.

I think it should only be used for medical purposes. Otherwise it should be an offence.

Rachel Biggin, 21, Workington

Some people take it for medical reasons. I don’t think it should be a serious offence.

Julie McDowell, 24, Harrington Rd, Workington

No. I don’t think it does any harm. It should stay as a Class C drug.

Jonathan Dixon, 19, Seaton

If it helps MS sufferers it should be available. But I don’t generally agree with drugs.
