The student streets of Cambridge are so 'awash with cannabis' we should all turn a blind eye, claims councillor

• Councillor Sarah Brown says cannabis is 'omnipresent' in Cambridge
• Lib-dem Brown questioned if battling the drug is a 'good use of resources'

Cannabis use in parts of Cambridge is so rife that police should turn a blind eye to it, a local councillor has suggested. Sarah Brown said the drug is ‘omnipresent’ in some areas of the historic university city. And she wants police to stop targeting cannabis use and focus on more serious drugs. She told a meeting of Cambridge City Council last week: ‘It’s pretty much impossible to walk more than 100 metres in Petersfield and Romsey [areas popular with academics and students] without smelling it. ‘The wards are more or less awash with it. 'I wonder if it’s a good use of resources to go after this. 'It’s more or less omnipresent.’

After the meeting she wrote on Twitter: ‘It seems obvious that public opinion on cannabis, at least in my ward, is at odds with the law. 'Resolving the disconnect is a national issue.’ She added: ‘If you want a councillor who thinks the police should ruthlessly target recreational cannabis users, don’t vote for me.’
