Teens find cannabis `freely available’
Stuff.co.nz – Oct 20, 2007
Nelson Bays Police area commander Inspector Brian McGurk spoke on Friday of the “significant impact” the drug was having on young people in the community, after 11 Nelson College boarders were suspended. The students, who were aged 15 and 16, had been growing and smoking cannabis on school grounds. Mr McGurk said they would be dealt with in a “more educative than punitive” manner by police Youth Aid, as this would achieve a better long-term outcome for them. He said it was easy for teenagers to buy cannabis in Nelson because it was so widely grown and so many groups adopted a permissive attitude towards the drug’s consumption… The students, who were aged 15 and 16, had been growing and smoking cannabis on school grounds. Mr McGurk said they would be dealt with in a “more educative than punitive” manner by police Youth Aid, as this would achieve a better long-term outcome for them. He said it was easy for teenagers to buy cannabis in Nelson because it was so widely grown and so many groups adopted a permissive attitude towards the drug’s consumption. He said that while police did not turn a blind eye to cannabis offending, they were unable to target each and every case of cannabis dealing. In the last three months, the number of police apprehensions related to cannabis offending in Nelson was up a third on the same period last year, Mr McGurk said. Detective Senior Sergeant Wayne McCoy of Nelson CIB said that with the rise of methamphetamine use in the region, police were putting more resources into what they saw as a drug with “aggressive” effects. The public wanted to see police tackle violence, and methamphetamine, or P, was more likely to result in violent offending, he said.
Drug offences up as police target cannabis use
Telegraph.co.uk – Oct 20, 2007
The most marked increase in police recorded crime is in the drugs category. Chief officers in a number of forces believe public use of cannabis is associated with “crime hot-spots” where there is anti-social behaviour and, around the dealers, violence and intimidation. Cannabis was downgraded from a Class B to a Class C drug three years ago, to reduce the number of arrests and court appearances for possession of the drug. However, police commanders have ordered crackdowns in areas where cannabis is sold, with higher levels of stop and search and consequent increased numbers of seizures of the drugs and the issuing of the “cannabis warnings” created as part of the re-classification.
