Drugs debate is in full swing today after the sacking last week of Professor David Nutt, the British government's top drugs adviser.

Over the weekend, two of Professor Nutt's colleagues have jacked in their positions on the country's drugs advisory panel after realizing it didn't matter a damn what they advised, and that they were just meant to toe the party line.

Last week Prof. Nutt caused a bit of a stir after saying that Ecstasy and LSD were less harmful than alcohol and cigarettes, also twice as fun to watch fireworks on.

He didn't say that last bit, but he knows I'm right.

I digress...What started off as a great day for wasters has ended up being a pretty worrying glance inside top level government. Essentially that government advisers are great as long as they advise the position prescribed by the party, which is one worked out by people who have no knowledge of the actual freakin' science.

Regardless... headlines with the words "Nutt Sacked" in them... frigging hilarious!

Seriously, "Nutt Sacked"... c'mon... like balls, but it's his name....

Ah screw it, my buzz is wearing off anyhow.

Headline joy here and here and here.
