Nutt sacked: Government advisor fired for telling truth about drugs

and oh dear guardian

A member of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs has resigned in protest at the government's treatment of its head, who was forced to step down last week after saying that cannabis was less harmful than alcohol or** nicotine**.

he actually said tobacco, nicotine by itself is not that bad, and there has been research into it for possible theraputic uses.
