Legalise Cannabis Alliance welcomes police warning on crack-laced cannabis
http://pr.cannazine.co.uk : The Legalise Cannabis Alliance (LCA) today gave their full support to a Police warning from the West Yorkshire constabulary, concerning the contamination of cannabis with crack cocaine.

A spokesperson said: ”In this serious situation, we are in agreement with West Yorkshire Police's warning on the contamination of cannabis which may be the first step towards a new agenda that relates harm reduction and human rights - it is to be applauded as essential”.

In 2006, the LCA, alerted consumers to cannabis contaminated with grit, glass, sugar and various other substances such as fibreglass.

Previous to that the LCA had issued health warnings about cannabis resin known as “soap bar” which contained many toxic contaminants.

The LCA believes that legalisation would advance harm reduction and
human rights.

A spokesperson for the LCA, said: “West Yorkshire neighbourhood
policing officer Andy Briggs is to be congratulated for his approach to
this menace on his beat. I very much hope that this problem, which has
spread to Bradford according to some of our reports, can soon be solved.

Prohibition
Whether it is a likely turf war or other community related problems
underlying cannabis contamination - this is the ugly side of prohibition
as it happens every day on our streets.

“This week will see an LCA representative advise the Basque regional
Government on the implementation of their drugs policies and strategies,
just as we have advised the ACMD in the past on their deliberations.

Contaminated street cannabis is an issue that we will raise.

“The LCA will continue to press for the legalisation of cannabis, as we
believe that the benefits of this plant do not justify the prohibition
measures against it.

Also the LCA will continue to liaise and advise,together with ENCOD, our European coalition partner representing most of Europe’s users, despite the Governments reluctance to act up to EU guidelines requesting user participation in all its deliberations over drugs.”
