Drugs definitely need reclassification in this country. I'm not sure I would legalise everything, but I believe the current practices of drugs awareness education are entirely responsible for the situation we are in. When I left school in 1992, the drugs education was pretty much as it was mocked on South Park (drugs are bad, m'kay). There is no differentiation drawn between a drug with no addictive personality and little to no side effects and a drug that will draw a person into a downward spiral of soul destroying addiction.
By the age of 14, most people know someone who has or does smoke weed, so when it is communicated to kids as little different to heroin, yet the people they see smoking it appear to be fine, they ridicule and mock the drugs awareness education as scaremongering and propaganda.
To classify MDMA in the same bracket as Heroin, Crack and Crystal Meth is just ridiculous, and the try to classify all types of cannabis in another bracket, despite it's many guises and stages of technical development is equally as bad. 20 years ago, cannabis was nothing like it is today. It was a bit of fun as opposed to a super-strength psychological rollercoaster. I know a lot of people that have taken a lot of MDMA over the last 20-25 years and none of them have any issues from it. Most are happily married with kids, owning nice houses and having great careers. Whereas I know people who smoked weed religiously who still live with their parents and cannot hold down a job.
