Regarding cannabis cafes, I work as a charge nurse at a local psychiatric hospital and my colleagues and I have noticed a notable increase in the number of people with conditions caused or aggravated by cannabis use.

This increase coincides with the time that Worthing has been home to cannabis cafes.

This cost to society in terms of expensive, acute in-patient resources and personal cost to people's lives is passing largely unremarked upon by pro-cannabis campaigners.

I notice many supporters present at court cases related to the cafes are not Worthing residents but people with a vested interest.

I don't think there are many local residents keen to see cannabis cafes thriving in Worthing.

I fully support police efforts to close the cafes and thank the police for their work so far.
