The guy is not stepping into line with Britain's latest moral panic over weed--good for him!

Yes, I agree. Houston Nutt needs to get sacked.

I'm surprised you think little of the thousands of Farkers and their ability to provide the lulz on a constant basis.

Until that changes, begone!

If Alan Johnson does sack the professor, there is likely to be a strong reaction from some in the scientific community who may well argue that this is an attempt to silence independent academic discussion.

Yes, I'm sure they'll get quite testy.

Nutt was pissed that they moved the pot classification to schedul b instead of c.

Sounds like the nanny state is stepping up the anti-pot jargon and scare tactics.

He's a good nutt if you ask me.

Which you didn't, but I'll tell you anyway.

/Fuk pot prohibition. Fuk it with a Nutt to the pooper.

Oh, I have faith in fark. I was hoping, in my vanity, that I would be the first. I wished to spread the joy of a genuine fark-ish moment on the BBC to the rest of you. Alas I was beaten to it, though it cheers the heart nonetheless to see such joyous occasion for multiple postings of our favourite and most fantastically endowed rodent.

Now to see if the poor bastard will be hounded to his death like the last scientist that dared contradict Labour with his "facts".

Remember proles - Facts a re meaningless! You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.

Anatomically the headline is correct, albeit from the inside.

And that's from the BBC! I'd expect this from the Daily Mail, but wow...that there's some high class, raise-your-pinky-and-daub-the-corners-of-your-mouth-with-a-cloth-napkin style testicle humor.
