CANNABIS SCHEME
A SCHEME allowing police to deal informally with those found
possessing cannabis for personal use has increased the number of
arrests of people dealing in more serious drugs, the officer
overseeing the plan said yesterday. Commander Brian Paddick told the
BBC Radio 4 Today programme that the pilot scheme, being run in the
London Borough of Lambeth, should be continued.
