Chief of one of the UK's largest police forces calls for cannabis to be decriminalised to free up officers' time

Post by The Aspie Toker »

A police chief today called for the decriminalisation of cannabis to free up resources for other police work.

John Campbell, chief constable of Thames Valley Police - England's fifth largest force - said the existence of a 'lucrative' illegal market led to violence and criminality.

He said police forces had spent years cracking down on weed smokers without being able to snuff out the problem.

Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

I live under this force and have personally spoke to John Campbell, while toking...(T.V.P were doing a community day on my estate) Quite laid back for a high ranking officer. Didn't give a toss that i was smoking in my own front garden.

Making plans with a stoner is like being with a prostitute. They tell you they’re coming, but you know it’s a lie.
