Brunstrom is partly right

This week North Wales Chief Constable, Richard Brunstrom stated that all drugs should be legallised. I disagree that ALL drugs should be legallised, my view is that soft drugs should be made legal & hard drugs should stay illegal. Why?

All soft drug users have to buy their drugs from dealers that make their money from selling hard drugs, no matter how much the soft drug user tries to stay away from hard drugs, it is in the dealers best interest to sell the user hard drugs which eventually they do. By legallising soft drugs you break the link between the user and the dealer. and has been proven in Holland hard drug users become very few and far between. Their are also other advantages. The government can tax soft drugs, ringfence the money so that it is spent on a network of re-hab centres. And also you free up police time and money to concentrate on hard drug dealers & the criminal underworld.

Government should stop pandering to a failed drugs policy and make legal soft drugs, it should also wipe out the poppy fields in Afghanistan where the majority of Hard drugs on our streets comes from.
