Shock Horror - Kids do Drugs, deal and grow them !!
In 2005/6, police caught more than 6000 children selling drugs, from Class A substances to cannabis.
In London, the number of children caught with drugs for sale has jumped from 2709 to 4286 in the past three years.
It appears under-16s are not just restricting themselves to possession and supply, the FoI disclosures also show that hundreds of the clever little hoticulturalists were detected by police to be growing their own drugs.
Presumably, as the street price drops with oversupply, the market has to grow and the dealers get desperate.
The BBC ran an identical story with different details on Friday 11th August. In July the BBC ran a story about Bridlington Rotary Club distributing a leaflet to all schools in their area about drugs and the dangers of misuse, dealing ...etc.,
The Scotsman on 1st August had a story about 13 yr olds dealing in heroin and they obtained information from 5 of Scotland's 8 forces under FOI which showed that the use of, and dealing in illegal drugs by children was growing rapidly in all regions.
Tom Wood, chairman of the Scottish Association of Alcohol and Drug Action Teams, said in The Scotsman on September 3rd in a story on the pure heroin hitting the streets in Scotland from the booming Afghan poppy crop : "This is very bad news for us because there will be a glut of heroin on the market. This is the produce of the poppy crop from two years ago because there is quite a lead time from the opium harvest to drug production. It also comes at the same time as an unprecedented amount of cocaine is flooding the streets."
