Sadiq Khan Supports Decriminalization Of Cannabis
Sir Sadiq Khan has backed calls for the possession of small quantities of natural cannabis to be decriminalized, saying current rules "cannot be justified".
The Mayor of London said a report by the independent London Drugs Commission (LDC) published on Wednesday had provided "a compelling, evidence-based case" for decriminalization and urged the Government to consider the move.
Set up by Sir Sadiq in 2022 and chaired by former lord chancellor Lord Charlie Falconer, the LDC found the current laws on cannabis were "disproportionate to the harms it can pose" following a study of how the drug is policed around the world.
It also found cannabis policing "continues to focus on particular ethnic communities", damaging relations between the police and those communities.
