I would be very loath at legalising drugs, just a visit to South America with armed police on every street was enough for me.
We would have more out of work and robbing to fuel their habit.
I suppose the obvious way would be to put much more money into the campaign to scale down the drugs rings but I know it's a huge challenge - look at smoking it's been going on for years and only now are some getting to grips with the realisation that they are a killer.
The government in this country are not going to do that though are they - that would mean cutting back on profits and that means more than lives to these that are in at the moment.
I'm sad for the drug users who have had the need and pressures to go down this route ( the pushers are very clever in getting them addicted ), but I feel so sorry for the parents of the addicts ( and yes I know some ) it has to be heart breaking for them.
