The PM has announced plans to consult with the public on the Government's strategy for tackling drugs.
Speaking during today's PMQs, he said that the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith would publish a consultation document next week, which will outline the Government's plans for providing drugs education, treating those with drug problems, and supporting communities troubled by drug dealers.
The public will also be consulted on whether cannabis should be reclassified from being a class C drug to the more serious class B.
Cannabis was downgraded to class C, which includes drugs such as anabolic steroids, from class B, which includes amphetamines, in 2004.
