The new attack on drug dealers unveiled by Tony Blair yesterday includes harsher sentences for those who operate near a school or use children as couriers. It will also introduce a new legal presumption that anyone caught with more drugs than would be needed for personal consumption will be prosecuted as a dealer. Such an offence carries a maximum 14-year sentence for cannabis alone.
