"Drug dealing has no place in our communities. It attracts anti-social behaviour and blights neighbourhoods."

Anyone, apart from FPR, who disagrees with this ?

You are spending precious money enforcing against people with a drug which is healthier than another drug you are heavily marketing and selling everywhere (alcohol) .

20 bags of a plant that can and grow everywhere found by an operation that might have cost the price of a new class room.

Never has a war against anything been fought and lost so stupidly.

And the associated violence it brings with it....or are we all conveniently forgetting the shooting on Ducketts Common recently.....http://www.harringayonline.com/forum/topics/shooting-at-turnpike-la...

this was more recently associated (21st october 2016) with the drug dealing outside Turnpike Lane, a turf war, that was spreading away from the conspicuous dealing.  I'm glad the police finally puled their finger out, about time. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/hooded-gunman-pulls-out-pistol...

Outlaw gun shootings or failing to trade in the designated CCTV area or aggressive behaviour but not a plant less dangerous than alcohol which history tells us can't be policed without an escalating arms race which will lead to more people dying and a fortune spent policing it.

It seems unlikely that much of that associated violence was associated with some lads with 20 bags of weed. I suspect there's been some easy arrests and a nice headline without really tackling the big problem.

So, what is the big problem and how would you tackle it ?

So, tell your MP to lead the move to legalise it.

The change will only happen when people like you John start telling your MP.

They usually say that voters like you are the reason it's still illegal ;)

You mean voters like FPR ?

Or me ?

You may recall that at the community meeting with the police at which David Lammy was present, of the hundred-odd residents who attended, NOT ONE suggested that the sale of cannabis should be legalised.
