UK Cannabis Downgrades Cannabis from Class B to C New cannabis law comes into force
Cannabis has now been downgraded to the same status as anabolic steroids and anti-depressants.
Home Secretary David Blunkett's move to reclassify cannabis - first set in motion more than two years ago - means possession of the drug will not lead to arrest in most cases.
In the biggest shake-up of Britain's drug laws for 30 years, cannabis has been moved from class B to class C.
Police will no longer arrest most of the 80,000 adults a year who are currently charged with possession offences.
