Cannabis has been moved up from a C class to a B class drug in the United Kingdom. The UK government seems to have made a pointless and illogical decision in making cannabis B class.

The UK has even come out with an anti-cannabis ad that is aimed at 'showing the mental health risks of using cannabis'. You can see the video on the BBC website here:
