Synthetic Cannabinoids: Reclassification

Proceeding contribution from Vicky Ford (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 November 2018. It occurred during Debate on Synthetic Cannabinoids: Reclassification.

Before my hon. Friend gets too much into the issue of patients, may I bring him back to the issue of policing? My local police have been doing a phenomenal bit of work cracking down on drug activity, and they made a number of arrests last week. They are concerned that there is not strong enough sentencing for the drug barons at the top, who too often are let off, basically scot-free. Does my hon. Friend agree that reclassification should be coupled with stronger sentencing for those peddling these drugs?
