York Councillor confession after ‘over the counter’ Class A drugs exposed
The investigation revealed that the exploitation of a major legal loophole means that Class A psychedelic magic mushrooms can be sold ‘over the counter’ to shoppers in Gillygate.
Despite enjoying the drug as a teenager, she described “those days” as a world away from the current devastating social and health implications that illegal substances inflict both on the drug users and the victims created by drug crime.
“The laws we have at the moment are totally inadequate to protect the public from the kinds of people these sorts of shops attract.”
The police have maintained that they exercise the laws they are given and have “no interest” in pursuing any lobbying action to ensure they have the powers to restrict access to this freely available Class A drug.
With the declassification of cannibis from B to C classification, and calls from Tory leader, Michael Howard for it to be reversed, the debate is intensifying as to whether the law should be tightened up around illegal drug users, or whether drug laws should be liberalised.
