Drug users are being let off because police do not want to harm their ‘life chances’.

Officers are being told not to charge or hand out warnings to everyone caught with the class B drug.

Dave Thompson, who is chief constable of West Midlands Police, told MPs he did not want to ‘criminalise lots of young people’.

‘We took some policy decisions about what we do about cannabis,’ he said. ‘My answer is let’s not give everyone a cannabis warning – it’s disastrous for their life chances.’
