happythoughts 0 #1 September 13, 2003 clicky QuoteLONDON (Reuters) - Police chiefs urged their officers Friday to take a more relaxed approach to cannabis in line with a new policy that will effectively leave Britons free to enjoy the drug in private. The guidance came as Home Secretary David Blunkett handed Parliament a draft order to downgrade the drug from Class B to the low-risk Class C to allow police to focus resources on hard drugs like heroin. When even the police don't believe it... Quote...Andy Hayman, drugs spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers. Hayman said the rationale for existing drug laws -- that people who tried cannabis were often led on to harder drugs -- had been disproved. "The theory of 'gateway' drugs doesn't stand up," he said. "The evidence does not support that." I'm not in favor of people going out and getting stoned any more than I think they should drink to excess. I just think that the legal consequences should relate to the possible damage of the action. I think that is justice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
