Comment on UK drug advisers recommended decriminalising possession in 2016, leak reveals

Is this a leak? I thought this was common knowledge for years now.
The current (and I suspect future) government doesn't find it politically appetising or advantageous. That's the only reason we're still stuck decades behind Portugal.

I think it’s common knowledge that they recommended this back in about 2009, and I think the government notoriously sacked their own scientific advisor rather than listen to reason, perhaps it’s a new leak that it was recommended again in 2016? (Although not at all surprising that they did so!)
