Legalise Weed Says London Mayor Sadiq Khan
Breitbart ^ | 05/28/2025 | Simon Kent

Posted on 05/28/2025 6:55:02 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Smoke it if you’ve got it. That pretty much sums up the approach of London Mayor Sadiq Khan to personal drug use as he backed calls Wednesday for small quantities of cannabis to be decriminalised and “negate problems between the police and ethnic communities.”

He was endorsing a report by the London Drugs Commission, chaired by former Labour cabinet minister Lord Falconer, which makes 42 recommendations, including removing natural cannabis from the Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA).

Lord Falconer told BBC Radio Four’s Today programme, “continuing to have possession as a crime meant continuing have problems between the police and ethnic communities.” He added:

Stop and search in London for example is most commonly based on ‘the smell of cannabis’ and it is disproportionately used against young black men.

A person high on drugs in a car, plowed through a bunch of people in Liverpool, injuring 65, and this idiot wants to legalize drugs.

Of course he’s for it.

The ignorant, the ill, and the impaired are far easier to rule.

We visited England in August 2023.

London was dirty with lots of graffiti and Muslims.

Does England term limit it’s Mayors? This Mayor Khan seems to have decided he will be London’s Mayor For Life.
The steady ruin continues.

Exactly! Khan has destroyed London, and it’s devolving into total anarchy...so he wants to worry about legalizing weed!?

I just looked it up. You’re right. Marijuana is haram (forbidden under Islam).

So now Sadiq Khan‘s statements make even more sense. Allow the infidels to get all doped up while Islam continues its march of conquest.

🙁

A couple of centuries of legal Cannabis and making it common for the world would help us all look like the places that it originated from and have used it for thousands of years.

It would sure take the shininess off of Western Civilization and it’s highly driven and high accomplishing peoples, the final nail to grubby mediocrity.

Perhaps they can legalize small quantities of free speech to ‘negate problems between police and indigenous communities.’

This indicates the fall is complete. The Khan of Londonistan is ruling by irrelevant distraction.
