Weymouth man arrested after drugs bust
11:30am Saturday 20th October 2012 in News
A WEYMOUTH man has been arrested and charged after a Drugs bust in the town.
Dorset Police executed a warrant under the misuse of drugs act on Wednesday morning at a property in Hardwick Street, Weymouth.
A 30-year-old Weymouth man was arrested and charged with possession of a class B drug, believed to be cannabis.
Inspector Les Fry from Weymouth police said officers take a 'strong and proactive' line with anyone involved in the drugs scene, whether they are involved in their use or supply.
He said: "Drugs have a detrimental effect on people's lives and the community as a whole. We will not tolerate such use and we look to the community to support us by providing information on which we will act. Should anyone not feel comfortable contacting the police they can call Crimestoppers freely and anonymously on 0800 555 111." Dorset Police can be contacted on 101.

I appreciate that the police are doing their best - maybe -, butr when you take out one drig user or supplier, there are two or more waiting in the wings. If we really want to send out the message that Dorset will not tolerate drug users and dealers, particularly dealers and suppliers, we must make sure that the courts impose maximum penalties at all times so the these scum get the message that drug use and supply in this county will only result in long jail terms, with no mitigation being permitted for dealer and suppliers. In the grand scale of things though, Dorset is only a speck in the ocean of drug misuse - the whole counties legal system needs to push maximum jail time for drug pushers, dealer and suppliers, to get the message through that drugs will not be tolerated in the United Kingdom.
It would be interesting though, to see how the courts deal with this man. If it was for personal use, and the quantity indicates this, then perhaps a term of 5 years in prison, with a drug rehab order attached might change his ways, but in any case, we need to put more effort into educating people to the danger of these drugs at a much lesser age. Like it or not, kids learn about sex, through the tv, at a very young age, as low as 5 years old, but we don't seeem to target them in educating about the dangers of drugs until they are much much older. If we educated at a much earlier age, then maybe, just maybe, we could cut the use of drugs by the younger generation by more than a third, and a third of something has to be far better than a third of nothing. Lets put it another way, we teach our children the dangers of crossing the roads at the earliest opportunity, but not about the danger of drugs, yeat lack of knowledge in both spheres can result in death or serious defects.

Whether we like it or not is neither here or there, drugs are illegal, and the revenue to the government would never be as great as alcohol or ciggies, so it is not in the interest of the government to legalise drugs. It is not a case of whether or not we hate or agree with the law, it is still the law and in the main the law is there to keep society in general from falling into anarchy. Maybe cannabis should never have returned to class B on the statute books, but that, unfortunately, like it or not, is what we vote tese idiots into parliament to do, make the laws and adjust them as seems right to the parliament. If you don't like it da proof, go out next year or whenever the next election is and stand up and ask for people to vote for you on the basis of changing the cannabis laws of this country.
fk it im gonna say it fk the law - who is to decide what constitutes a 'drug' and what is not ?????The guy sits in his flat and smokes a bit of green AND???Lock the man up fk it there is no danger in 'drugs'just the danger of narrowminded idiots - alcohol kills far more people - but its still legal
"'The next time you imbibe in a nice glass of Chateau Méaume or a single malt just relax and think you are a better person'".
I don't know where you got the impression that I can afford such drinks, much as I would like to be able to do so. I go out and have a drink usually about once a year, maybe twice, and then occasionally drink at home, but there are know single malts or Chateau Méaumein my drinking circles, not that rich, in fact not rich at all. But if you would like to buy these for me da proof, all donations to my drinking funds are gratefully accepted.
I am no right winger or left red, not Lib Dem or whatever Clegg calls his party these days, just an ordinary citizen making a comment, just like you.
