"for the time-being anecdote is the best we have"

No it isn't.  There is plenty of data and research available from the population as a whole both from the UK and countries with more liberal policies towards cannabis.

Policies based upon chats with people who themselves may be basing their views purely on opinion rather than systematic collection of evidence is no way to make decisions.

"The reason for the change in classification back to B was not political"

Of course it was political and the government at the time fired their chief scientific advisor on drugs who criticised the decision precisely because of the lack of scientific justification and because the government were ignoring scientific advice.  It is an "open secret" that Gordon Brown did it to try and appease the Daily Mail who were on his back about cannabis classification, using scare stories typical of this paper.
