A sudden and unexpected movement to loosen controls on marijuana use is sweeping Britain, gaining bipartisan support each day and setting the stage for a possible decriminalization of the drug, which is extremely popular here.

Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has promised a hard-line approach to drug abuse, has not spoken out, but senior figures in his Labor Party have called for the use of small amounts of marijuana to go unpunished. Surprisingly, some leaders in the Conservative Party have agreed that the time has come to change the law.
