UK: Kent cafe could serve cannabis - would you like to see this in Plymouth?

Plymouth Herald

Tuesday 11 Feb 2014

Councillors are considering opening an Amsterdam-style cannabis cafe in Kent.

Officials at Thanet District Council are meeting to discuss allowing users to consume the illegal Class B drug without fear of arrest.

Green councillor Ian Driver is backing the project and has invited drug experts and Kent Police and Crime Commissioner Ann Barnes to the meet on March 15.

Ian said: "The cafe would not sell or supply cannabis, but customers would be allowed to bring and consume their own cannabis on the premises whilst enjoying a drink and something to eat.

"The cafe would probably be run as a members club and would be a meeting point for people who use cannabis for recreational and medicinal purposes and their friends.

"Dealing in cannabis at the cafe would not be allowed. Drugs policy is rapidly changing. The traditional prohibitive approach is being replaced by more tolerant policies.

"In the USA for example Colorado and Washington State have now legalised the production, sale and consumption of cannabis. Uruguay will shortly be following suit.

"These enlightened approaches will generate considerable additional tax revenue to fund the police and other public services and will also create jobs and help to eliminate organised crime."
