There was an interesting talk on Radio 4's Fourthought recently by an ex-cop.
"Peter Bleksley, a former undercover policeman fighting drugs crime and an ex-drug addict, argues that the only answer in the so-called "war on drugs" is to legalise and license them."
However, he was against simply putting the supply into the hands of pharmaceutical companies instead of criminals. He was calling for an affordable, state controlled supply to remove the incentive to build a business based on pushing the crap.
