UNENFORCEABLE LAWS ON CANNABIS

Research involving 150 frontline patrol officers who carry out stop
and search operations for drugs has revealed that half of them have
admitted using cannabis, and that many support a more liberal
approach. Over half also believed that cannabis legislation harmed
relations between police and young people, and it was said that those
arrested for possession were less likely to help the police to solve
more serious crimes.

Recent Home Office figures show that 99pc of drug related crime
affecting the community stems from heroin and crack cocaine addiction
and yet 70pc of police time deals with cannabis 'offences'.

The cannabis laws are unenforceable and all recent polls show the
public don't want them enforcing. If present policy is to continue,
the people of Hull deserve to know why it's appropriate to prosecute
cannabis smokers instead of using valuable resources and police time
to catch drunken thugs, violent criminals and muggers.
