Drugs and crime
We will break the link between drugs and crime by massively
expanding treatment programmes, including 25,000 residential
rehab places (compared with fewer than 2,500 places today), and
by giving all young users of hard drugs a straight choice –
effective treatment or appearing in court. We will stop sending
mixed messages on drugs by reversing Labour’s reclassification of
cannabis as a less serious drug, changing it from class ‘C’ back to
class ‘B’.
