"All drugs are put into one of three categories, according to how dangerous they are." No they aren't, as anabolic steroid abuse is of a 'Class C' drug whereas Cannabis and Ecstasy USE (not abuse) is of a Class B or A drug respectively, which scientists constantly state are in the wrong classes vs. how genuinely-dangerous they are (genuine statistics lie less than politicians, right?) Considering that the government's OWN advisors were all effectively fired for stating that this posturing from the government is a lie (and they are professional scientists from all backgrounds, whereas the government are professional politicians, and the more professional the politician, arguably the better a liar they are)... DO NOT TRUST THE INFORMATION ON THIS SITE FULLY ON POLITICALLY-SENSITIVE SUBJECTS. Thank-you.

As others have said, it's useful but navigation is anything but intuitive. In fact it seems to get worse over time.

Server in the USA? Why? How can we trust personal data to a government site that then passes it directly into a different jurisdiction? When submitting an epetition, the following server was used (which was over-worked, well done private enterprise for government function): IP Information for ***** IP Location: United Kingdom United Kingdom Birmingham Isp4business ASN: AS21077 IP Address: ***** [Whois] [Reverse-Ip] [Ping] [DNS Lookup] [Traceroute] inetnum: ***** - ***** org: ORG-IA63-RIPE admin-c: SCC21-RIPE tech-c: SCC21-RIPE netname: UK-BIRM-20010816 descr: Provider Local Registry ISP4Business country: GB status: ALLOCATED PA mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT mnt-lower: MNT-SCCIS mnt-routes: MNT-SCCIS source: RIPE # Filtered organisation: ORG-IA63-RIPE org-name: ISP4Business org-type: LIR address: SCC Internet Services Steve Bates Prime Point 2096 Coventry Road B26 3YU Sheldon, Birmingham UNITED KINGDOM phone: +44 ***** fax-no: +44 ***** admin-c: CAD6-RIPE admin-c: PJH2711-RIPE admin-c: VA274-RIPE mnt-ref: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT mnt-ref: MNT-SCCIS mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT source: RIPE # Filtered role: SCCIS Hostmaster address: SCC Internet Services address: Prime Point address: 2096 Coventry Road address: Sheldon address: Birmingham address: B26 3YU phone: ***** fax-no: ***** abuse-mailbox: mnt-by: MNT-SCCIS admin-c: VA274-RIPE admin-c: CAD6-RIPE admin-c: PJH2711-RIPE tech-c: CAD6-RIPE tech-c: PJH2711-RIPE nic-hdl: SCC21-RIPE source: RIPE # Filtered route: ***** descr: ISP4Business - Prime Point origin: AS21077 mnt-by: MNT-SCCIS source: RIPE # Filtered
