Police "consider enforcing law" at cannabis party

Essex police says it may enforce the law if supporters of legalising cannabis
hold a planned "Smokey Bear" party.

The party is set to take place on September 8, in Central Park, Chelmsford and
has been advertised on the internet.

Its anonymous organisers claim the party will test official reaction to the
public smoking of cannabis.

The Essex Chronicle says parties have been held in Portsmouth, Hull and Norwich
in the past.

Don Barnard, a Braintree campaigner for the legalisation of cannabis, says
people smoked the drug as a tongue-in-cheek protest against the law.

"They come from all over the country to sit and make their point and to see what
the

police will do about it," he said.

"It's the nearest cannabis smokers come to direct confrontation."

An Essex Police spokesman told Ananova: "Police can be expected to make arrests
if there is evidence of the supply or possession of an illegal drug."
