Alan Kibble is hopeless.
If Alan Kibble is in charge god help the police, the police and new charter are remotley on the same wavelength. If an effective strategy is to be implemented on the war on drugs then these authorities including Kibble need to WORK TOGETHER and share information instead of keep passing the buck and expect other authorities to do the job instead.

Define druggie, I myself use vodka and occasionally wine. I find it hard to quit this incredibly harmful drug known as 'alcohol' so effectively I am a drug addict.

These comments below make alot of sense but yours does not. If cannabis was legalised everyone would not suddenly start using cannabis 24/7, that's just ludicrous. Alcohol is legal and it's much more addictive yet the entire uk population isn't drunk all day everyday. Your fear is affecting your prejudice.
I am pleased you mentioned 'unemployed' though, if that concerns you, you would also support legalisation. Too many people are charged with possession or for growing a benign plant, that then appears on their criminal records making it incredibly hard to get jobs. They then become a drain on society just because of a law that shouldn't exist. So yes let's reduce unemployment, lets legalise cannabis. Imagine all those records that would be wiped clean allowing all those unemployed to be employed again! Imagine all those licensed growing facilities that need staff to run them! Imagine all those off-licences and cannabis cafe's that also need staff to run them! Not to mention packaging, distribution and supplies.

You know I'm right.

you bunch of druggies you can't legalise stuff or everyone will b just a bunch of stoners

got enough unemployment as it is!!!

Until someone in government has the nerve to speak up you will continue making these busts, yet you won't even make a scratch in terms of the supply and availability.

Enjoy your futile war and wasting valuable tax payers money on a plant that has been scientifically proven to be less harmful than prescription drugs and has medicinal benefits way beyond that of many current pharmaceuticals, not to mention the fact that it is a viable and ecological alternative to our reliance on fossil fuels and timber...

In 5,000 years of beneficial usage, only in the last 100 has it become prohibited. I'd sooner put my faith in the wisdom of the ages than a bunch of crackpot puppet politicians who are essentially controlled by large corporate organisations who have a vested interested in keeping this plant illegal in order to preserve their wealth and power.

I just love how the cops stand by their 'find' looking all proud of themselves, why don't you go the whole hog and put it in handcuffs!! You're nothing more than the government's drones...

Stop wasting our money/time on a 'drugs war' which doesn't work. Cannabis users are good people. Free the police up for going after real criminals that are a danger to society.
Governments should listen to the people, not just oppress them.

The times are changing. This farsical drug war cannot continue. The facts are there for everyone to find and the more people that educate themselves to the real effects of prohibition, the more people will wake up.
When will politicians take scientist's and doctor's advice and take a more fact based approach to drug reform?
The law must and will change. It has to.

I'll keep this short and sweet as I have little time. Legalise it. Simple as

He states the " People want to get rid of that kind of activity from their neighbourhoods " And the figures have showed him that that is not going to happen .So would the police not think of telling MPs that things need to change and the drug laws in our country need to be rethought ! But all we will see is the police , MPs , courts and so on getting tougher on drugs mainly cannabis and all that will happen is the criminals will hike the price up use more houses to supply the demand and start destroying neighbourhoods and in another 5 years the police , MPs and courts will see the figures increase AGAIN and do the same thing " Get tougher on drugs " and in 10 years time you wont be able to step foot in that neighbourhood without getting beat , stabbed or shot . And when this happens " cannabis psychosis " will be blamed . Cannabis should be sold in special shops for adults with ID like they do in 15 states in America and half of Europe where it is now where near neighbourhoods or kids and is in GOVERNMENT CONTROL NOT CRIMINAL CONTROL .People will still use cannabis no matter what the law says !! But our so called " leaders " would rather leave drugs in the hands of criminals and terrorists , a well thought out plan by the MPs in charge wouldnt you say ?

costly strung out poison treatment , prohibition is the wrong tool for that job , it fails to protect our young and it make rich criminals that need protecting, it also uses its own failing to market its own future budget, propping up alot of inside contractors who preach of the dangers to fix their budget, drugs policy should be based on evidence and fact not to place unregulated substances from unregulated supplyers into the hands of criminals and children to increase capital !, prohibition has no foundation to work from in reducing overall drug related harms and how the police describe counterfeit alcohol ,says it all , its only tax that makes them drugs good then not the regulation measures! , even though that form of regulation is sided with greed than harm reduction !, they dont want to lie but they dont want to tell the truth in fear of their job
, personaly i think its the politicians that need regulating first because that where the rot starts , corrupt order ~

the drug issue should be removed from being a criminal matter to a medical matter. the war on drugs has failed and if you think it hasnt failed ask yourself why everything purchased has gone up in price such as food, petrol and electricity why does it still cost the same to get any drug a the same price. 10 pounds will buy you a crack rock 20 years ago and how much does it cost now? 10 pounds for a crack rock. after all the tens of billions already spent on the war on drugs does this sound like value for money? why cant we accept people will choose to escape sometimes and our only legal way of doing this is to use addictive, cancerous substances. let end prohabition it has failed the people who need it most. those who are in need of medical treatment.

"Police are confident that the operations in place to target cannabis farmers are working."????

Absolute rubbish. They are just diverting more and more police time from crime that really matters.

Why don't we try taking a completely new approach to this problem? At least six million people in Britain use cannabis regularly and whatever we do we're not going to stop them.

We waste billions every year on police, court and prison resources when a large proportion of society uses cannabis without any problem at all. In fact, the only real problem with cannabis is that it's illegal.

The risks to health are very small - much, much less than alcohol or tobacco. Why not introduce a tax and regulate system and realise the benefits? That way we'd have a properly regulated supply chain with no criminals involved, no theft of electricity, no human trafficking, no destruction of property and disruption of neighbourhoods.

Then there would be some control over this huge market. There would be thousands of new jobs, sales would be from licensed outlets to adults only with guaranteed quality and safety. Then our police could start going after some real wrongdoing instead of trying to fight a crime that exists only because of a misguided government policy.

Time we legalised, taxed and regulated cannabis and get a bit of money back in the normal economy instead of leaving it in the hands of criminals (who don't pay tax.)
Or shall we carry on banging our heads against the wall thinking this will all go away and people will stick to getting drunk and violent on a weekend?

Come on sheeple, it's called HEMP and it's been grown by people for thousands of years. People enjoy smoking it, just like some people enjoy a glass of wine. Prohibition of drugs does not work. There is higher drug use now than before prohibition was brought in. People own their own bodies, not the government. The police officers enforcing these draconian laws against nature are a bunch of jack booted freedom-hating thugs.
