About this listen

 British law on cannabis is bitterly controversial. Many say it puts young people and ethnic minorities into needless conflict with the law. London Mayor Sadiq Khan originally asked Bernard Hogan-Howe to lead the drugs commission that has just recommended decriminalising “natural” cannabis for personal use. Is Khan right to demand a change the law? Bernard and former Mirror editor Alison Phillips go inside the evolution of Britain’s illegal cannabis trade, ask whether legalising weed would boost organised crime, and look at what urgent steps Government should take on what is many Briton’s favourite guilty pleasure. • Follow Crime Scene on BlueSky.
