The science (and their is lots of it) clearly states that current drug policy is totally counter intuitive, is criminalising many people for the possession of drugs that are less harmful than alcahol and if fuelling a vast illegal market. This costs the public purse billions.

Countries like Spain and Portugal show up how backward our policies are.

Our policy is based on appalling lies that are designed to generate political capital, the lives that are ruined by these policies are seen as expendable by the politicians.
