The Government's top drug advisors have recommended that ecstasy should be downgraded from a Class A to a Class B substance.
The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs delivered a report to Home Secretary Jacqui Smith today.
But the Home Office is ignoring the advice, saying there is no such thing as a "safe dose" of the drug.
Ecstasy was placed in the top Class A bracket alongside heroin and cocaine back in the late 1970s, before it was widely available.
