The Home Office has criticized Mayor Sadiq Khan's recommendation to decriminalize cannabis for personal use in London, labeling the move "ridiculous." Despite Khan's London Drugs Commission supporting the plan, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has stated there will be no law changes regarding cannabis possession. Critics, including City Hall Tory leader Susan Hall, argue that this approach exacerbates existing crime and antisocial behavior. Others, like former advisor Nick Timothy, express concern about Khan's focus on non-essential issues instead of addressing crime effectively, highlighting public disorder linked to current drug laws.
In the midst of a crime wave, as our streets become more and more antisocial, the Mayor's bright idea is to add the stink of cannabis into the mix - legally.
How he expects officers to differentiate between legal and illegal amounts on the spot is beyond me, and that's before you consider what else someone might be carrying.
