Cleveland Police will continue enforcing cannabis laws - as Durham plans to stop chasing low-level users

Submitted by Marijuana News on Wed, 07/22/2015 - 08:34

Durham Police has said it will only go after people growing and using cannabis if there is a complaint - or if they are being 'blatant'

Cleveland Police will continue to “operate within the law as it exists” when it comes to dealing with drug crime - despite plans by a neighbouring force to stop actively pursuing low-key cannabis users.

Ex-deputy chief constable of Cleveland - and current Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Durham - Ron Hogg wants to see users of the class B drug in County Durham and Darlington entered onto a course.

He views that as a means of dealing with their habit rather than being arrested.

The Labour PCC's comments have since sparked a major debate on the issue - which is being seen as a step towards decriminalisation.
