Listening to Radio 4 this morning and an interview with John Fassenfelt, Deputy Chair of the Magistrates Association about the reclassification of cannabis from a Class C drug to a Class B, I found his lack of knowledge quite stunning – the interview asked Fassenfelt what other types of drugs are Class B, Fassenfelt he replies

“You’ve got me there; I’m not a big user of Class B drugs”.

To enlighten Fassenfelt – other Class B drugs are amphetamines, Methylphenidate (Ritalin) and Pholcodine, you’d hope a magistrate would know that – Fassenfelt a man with no idea.
