Public opinion on sex and drugs is changing
The ways in which cannabis and sex are viewed by society has changed, according to a survey.
Research has found that more members of the public believe that cannabis should be made illegal, while people are now displaying a more open-minded approach to homosexuality.
The results, which were published in the British Social Attitudes Survey, show that just 24 per cent of individuals now believe the drug to be less damaging than widely thought, with the number down from 46 per cent in 2001.
Results also showed that the public has a more liberal attitude towards homosexuality, with four out of ten people saying that they think it is "not wrong at all".
Report author Andy Ross commented: "Changing attitudes reflect a combination of factors. In general, we are becoming more liberal and tolerant.
"Our attitudes are also shaped by what we see in our daily lives." Cannabis was reclassified from a Class C drug to Class B in January 2009.
Tim Pearson Director of The Way comments" Just because society is changing, and devaluing their standards, does not dilute the fundamental message of the Bible, which states in Colossians 2 v 8 “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ”.
