Dangerous Drugs

Proceeding contribution from Lloyd Russell-Moyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 September 2023. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Dangerous Drugs.

Is there not a danger that the “broad uses” clause will mean that good, middle-class white people, with houses where they can consume this drug in private, will be able to continue to do so and poor, working-class young people in parks, possibly predominantly black, Asian and minority ethnic, will end up being criminalised, as with many other drugs?
