An expert panel, the RSA Commission on Illegal Drugs, Communities and Public
Policy, calls for a change of drug laws, since they are not based on scientific
knowledge. In a 335-page report they state that "cannabis is likely to
fall roughly in the middle of any harms index. (…) Its position on the
harms index several places below both alcohol or tobacco suggests that the form
this control takes might have to correspond far more closely with the way in
which alcohol and tobacco are regulated." The whole report is available
