Another pointless drug war "success"
Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 2010-06-12 11:00.It's unusual to see the Daily Mail reporting style in the CNJ. See how the nasty evil drug dealer "targeted Camden’s gay community". As if they were not willing participants. Laughable. There will always be demand for recreational drugs and people do have a basic right to change their consciousness as they have done since the dawn of our species. Even the rabidly prohibitionist UN office of drug control admit that 95% of recreational drug users are "non-problematic". So why are we still pursuing the failed War on Drugs policies that originate from the American hard right Temperance movement which single handedly created organised crime with the introduction of Prohibition in 1920? For all the arguments against prohibition and for genuine control of recreational drugs check out "After the War on Drugs: Blueprint for Regulation" from Transform Drug Policy Foundation http://www.tdpf.org.uk/
