  Mr Wilkinson added: "The idea that cannabis is a harmless drug is a misconception. Its cultivation and distribution are often controlled by organised crime networks that exploit vulnerable individuals and perpetuate violence.

  Yes, because it’s illegal.

  Make it legal and regulated like alcohol and these issues disappear. Moving it from illegal to SUPER DUPER illegal won’t change anything. Moron.

    This guy is either one of those people that have absolutely zero understanding of causality - or maybe more likely - someone who is cynically saying the political line so that they get to keep the violent oppression machine going.

    At this point I think it’s wilful ignorance as a way of achieving other things such as keeping their shitty jobs. ACAB

  Wilkinson is a prime example of why ex-squaddies shouldn’t be involved in making policing policy.

  PCCs were a mistake. Never should we have let the ruling class impose a politicised police force upon us. It was inevitable that it would lead to ignorant nonsense like this.

  I can’t think of a single thing any police and crime commissioner has done other than wank away money, go on the telly saying how important they are, and come up with hare brained ideas like this.
