Durham Police's Chief has already said that they have stopped Targeting small scale cannabis growers as it keeps costs lower, the crime rate down and means that they can focus on much larger 'community damaging drugs'. Ed Miliband and other notable figures in authority back the decriminalisation of Cannabis. It has also been proved that Canabis is safer than cigarettes and alcohol (which can be classified Class A drug like Heroin if it was ever prohibited because of the harmful physical effects)
