Cannabis is the most popular illegal drug, not just in the UK but around the world. Yet the current law surrounding its use in this country is simply not working.

With respect to possession, the law is often not enforced, it is clearly no deterrent, and we know it is applied disproportionately within certain ethnic groups – particularly London’s Black communities.

The law is unfit for purpose: something must change. As the London Drugs Commission, which I chair, sets out in our report for mayor Sadiq Khan – and following the most extensive investigation of the issues in recent times – a simple change to the law would save our police and taxpayer money at a time when it is needed most.

Moreover, it would likely go some way towards easing some of the widely recognised tensions that exist between police and the communities they serve.

Around 2.5 million people in England and Wales used cannabis over the past year, the large majority of whom will have experienced no significant adverse health effects. Hearing from over 200 experts and academics and exploring different legal frameworks in operation around the world, we gave serious consideration to wholesale legalisation.

What we found suggests that while there may be some economic benefits, use of cannabis would likely increase – with “Big Cannabis” emerging as a commercial industry akin to “Big Tobacco”. This is not desirable, as we also know that for a small proportion of those who use cannabis (which nonetheless equates to many people), there can be significant negative consequences for their mental and physical health.

That said, maintaining the status quo is equally undesirable. Too many police perform stop-and-searches on suspicion of cannabis possession – often based solely on smell – that end in no further action. Either no cannabis (or other illegal item) is found, or a decision is taken to proceed no further.
