answer text

<p>The Government has no plans to decriminalise drug possession. It would not eliminate the crime committed by the illicit trade, nor would it address the harms associated with drug dependence and the misery that this can cause to families and communities. The police and criminal justice system nevertheless have a considerable amount of discretion in how they enforce the law and we support them in taking a proportionate approach.</p>
