Secret tapes reveal #Nixon’s views on cannabis:
“Let me say, I know nothing about marijuana. I know that it’s not particularly dangerous; and most of the kids are for legalizing it. But on the other hand, it’s the wrong signal at this time.”
“I have no problem with the fact that there should be an evaluation on the penalties on it. There should not be penalties that – you know in Texas – 10 years for marijuana. That’s wrong.”

The combined V1 and V2 attacks on London killed about 30,000 people — that’s as many people as President Duterte is believed to have killed in his murderous drug war over the last five years. He has done this with impunity as the world watched.

No victim. No crime.
End custodial sentences for cannabis possession.
End criminal records for the cultivation, sale and possession of cannabis entirely.
People who purposely contaminate cannabis or target children for profit you don't get a pass.

More evidence, this time from @YouthEndowFund, demonstrates the racist targeting and ineffectiveness of actions like stop and search in reducing violence.
We need investment back into communities and the support structures they offer, not more police.

The direct result of current #drugspolicy. Criminal markets supply the most dangerous products to children. Blame @YvetteCooperMP. She's home secretary and it's her job to do something intelligent - regulate and control the #cannabis market. theguardian.com/society/arti…

Bad #drugspolicy is the root cause of most crime and violence. #Prohibition creates criminal drugs markets which drive knife crime. The solution is legal #regulation. Until politicians grasp this nettle, knife crime and other violence will continue to rise.
