Summary

MPs Bent-Joacim Bentzen, Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, and Geir Inge Lien have tabled a proposal for stepped-up drug enforcement. The proposers argue that drug seizures and youth drug use are rising, and that possession limits should be set by regulation to ensure consistent enforcement. They also seek expanded police powers, including the ability to search mobile phones and conduct drug dog searches in schools.
