Title – Is it time the world forgot about cannabis in its war against drugs?Source – The Independent
Date – 3rd October 2008
I have no intention of rehashing the arguments on the legalisation of cannabis; we have done that before in this blog and it is a subject the press come back to on an annual basis to fill some column inches. The fact is, it would be a very brave government that took that step anytime soon and there is simply not the will to address it at this time.
I have included this article for our clients as a matter of interest. Understanding the origins and nature of the drugs trade helps you to better protect your business or organisation from the negative effects of illegal drugs. Understanding the size of the industry allows you to appreciate the importance of zero-tolerance policies as well as the difficulty in enforcing them.
With 160 million cannabis users worldwide, cannabis is a very profitable business for drug dealers and as a restricted drug in the UK, business owners, managers and staff have a duty to ensure that their premises and workplaces remain drug free.
At Beyond The Blue we run bespoke drug awareness courses as well as industry specific courses such as the National Certificate for Licensees – Drug Awareness (NCLDA). Drugs awareness also features heavily in some of our other courses such as the National Certificate for Door Supervisors (NCDS) and our In-House Security Induction (IHSI) course.
