					<description><![CDATA[Last year Britain seized more cannabis than in any year since records began in 1973 — and almost none of it was hash. The Home Office numbers tell the story of a market that has been moved twice by prohibition and has now been moved a third time, into aeroplane hold luggage.

					<description><![CDATA[Every stop-and-search in England and Wales is published, one row at a time. I pulled three years of them — 1.46 million searches — and asked one question: what are the police actually looking for, and do they find it? The answer to the first half is drugs. Not knives, not guns, not stolen goods. ... <a title="800,000 Drug Searches. Two-Thirds Found Nothing.

					<description><![CDATA[Fifty-five years ago, in 1971, the UK passed the Misuse of Drugs Act and declared war on cannabis. Half a century on, it is worth asking a simple question with an uncomfortable answer: what has that war actually cost us? Not in rhetoric — in pounds, police hours, criminal records and human lives.

					<description><![CDATA[Last week I showed that a third of vapes sold as THC in the UK contain synthetic cannabinoids. So I pulled 89,000 drug-checking results from a country where cannabis is legal to see what happens to the spice when the weed comes with a label. Short answer: it doesn&#8217;t go away. It goes somewhere worse. ... <a title="In Britain the Spice is in the Weed.
