Police chiefs call to make cannabis a Class A drug
(Picture: PA Archive)A group of police commissioners have called to make cannabis a Class A drug at the Conservative Party Conference, saying that it is “just as harmful as cocaine”.
Cannabis is currently a Class B drug, however, the police chiefs say that it should be reclassified to join the ranks of heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, and LSD. This would mean the maximum penalty for the possession of cannabis would be up to seven years in prison, an unlimited fine, or both.
