OUTCOMES - Cannabis: Suggestions for Reform
More community involvement in decision making around local issues concerning drug use
Abolish the offence of using cannabis
Decriminalise possession of small quantities of cannabis
Decriminalise personal cultivation of cannabis
Legalise possession of cannabis for genuine medical reasons
Address issues of public consumption of cannabis through community policing (eg "drug free zones")
Provide more funds for treatment services
This would result in:
bringing down the black market price of cannabis to less than heroin
less crime and less police and court time wasted
cannabis users being more likely to discuss their use with doctors
less tobacco addictions
the community having greater influence over appropriate behaviour
police having more discretion in dealing with individuals
less rejection and alienation of young people
