I saw Nutt being interviewed on Newsnight and he wasn't that impressive to be honest, and didn't do his case much good. He said he saw his role as reducing the harm of drugs to society as a whole. As a scientific advisor his job was narrower than that, though. He was responsible for researching and investigating the dangers of drugs and advising the government. The govt then makes the decision on classification because that is a law making activity. Parliamentary sovereignty etc..
