Police chief issues call to decriminalise cannabis and redirect resources

“We would rather invest our time in getting high-level criminals before the courts, taking money off them and removing their illicit gains rather than targeting young people. We don't want to criminalise young people because, put bluntly, if we arrest young kids for possession of cannabis and put them before the courts we know what the outcome's going to be, so actually it's perfectly reasonable to give them words of advice or take it off them.” http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/sep/18/police-chief-decriminalise-cannabi… added by: JackHerer
