UK: Police will continue to prosecute joint smokers and cannabis growers despite relaxed laws elsewhere

Lincolnshire Echo

Saturday 25 Jul 2015

Lincolnshire Police say they will still continue to prosecute joint smokers and small time cannabis growers despite Durham relaxing its laws.

The soft approach in Durham has let those caught cultivating tens of thousands of pounds worth of the drug receive only a warning or slap on the wrist caution.

This led to anti-drugs campaigners accusing Durham Police of sending out a dangerous message

Durham Police said the most likely way of dealing with them would be with a caution and by taking the plants away and disposing of them and it is unlikely that a case like that would be brought before a court.

But Lincolnshire Police have said that they will not be enforcing this.

Lincolnshire Police's detective superintendent Guy Collings said: "We will always seek to enforce the law against those who cultivate or distribute drugs."
