Just read an interesting article in the news in brief section of this months edition of Drink and Drugs News. (DDN)
Recent research from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) indicated that nearly 80% of young people questioned can get hold of Cannabis in under 1 hour.
They found that most of the 11-19 year olds questioned buy Cannabis from friends with only 6% using what is traditionally regarded as a dealer.
The JRF found on questioning that most of the teenage friends questioned were sharing the cost of Cannabis rather than profiting from the onward distribution.
Conclusion, in the 11-19 age range at a local level cannabis supply is more social than commercial.
