UK: Hard drugs fear over cannabis dealer ruling

A LEADING campaigner for the legislation of cannabis says that the Home
Secretary's failure to decriminalise the supply of the drug risks
increasing the trade in hard drugs.

Bolton Liberal Democrat Euro-MP Chris Davies, who faces trial in October
charged with possessing cannabis in a political protest, has described
the drug law changes as "confusing and counterproductive".

Mr Davies said that the Home Secretary, David Blunkett, had failed to
recognise that the existence of 900 cannabis coffee shops in Holland had
separated traders in soft and hard drugs, helping to bring about a
significant fall in heroin use.

Mr Davies also condemned Mr Blunkett's refusal to follow the advice of
an all-party group of MPs in reducing the classification of ecstasy to
Class B.
