How any self-respecting institution can possibly oppose the ending of the ban on drug utensils, in light of the obvious harm-reduction benefits, is just beyond me. And opposing the proposed introductions against presumptions of imprisonment is another classic "boys in blue" crap.

Anything to give us more power!
I assume the harm-reduction benefits you are referring too is the medical use of marijuana for pain relief?
If so - and without knowing the full report so basing this on speculation - then I would imagine they are opposing it on the basis that p pipes, spoons that have obviously been used for p/heroin, and other Class A/B utensils etc are a bad thing.
Not necessarily basing their argument on bongs and spotting knives (Which would obviously be tarred with the same brush in this context).
