A first step?

The Chief Constable of North Wales - no stranger to controversy - has suggested that all drugs should be legalised and the law used more to control, rather than prohibit their use. All praise to him for bringing the issue out in the open for public debate, but, as I have posted before, the main problem for society lies not in the taking of drugs, but in the practicalities surrounding their supply, and I cannot see the Chief Constable's proposals solving that problem. As long as there is money to be made by supplying them, and as long as users need money to get their fix, so-called drug-related crime will continue.
