Daily Telegraph: Our failed drugs policy has to change
| Quote: |
Drugs policy has failed. Do not take my word for it. That was, essentially, the conclusion of the Prime Minister's strategy unit in a report published last year after initially being suppressed. The aim of drugs policy over the past four decades has been to reduce demand and curb supply. It has done neither. Crime associated with drug-taking is as rife as ever. A new way needs to be found.
In order to explore whether one exists and is worth pursuing, the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA), a venerable institution born during the Enlightenment of the 18th century, decided to establish a commission of experts and lay people to examine the impact of drugs policy and consider the merits of alternative approaches. |
