Mirror.co.uk - POT SMOKING TO BE MADE LEGAL: "SMOKING cannabis will no longer be against the law under new Government plans.
From January, recreational users of the drug will be free from prosecution, unless they are pushers, it emerged yesterday.
Cannabis will be downgraded to a Class C drug - although people smoking near schools and playgrounds will face arrest and have the cannabis confiscated.
No further action will be taken unless there are complaints from locals, evidence of repeated possession or the smoking is in public."
