A TOP COP IN BRITAIN CALLS FOR LEGALIZATION OF ALL DURGS

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

INDEPENDENT, UK - One of Britain's most senior police officers is to
call for all drugs - including heroin and cocaine - to be legalized and
urges the government to declare an end to the "failed" war on illegal
narcotics.

Richard Brunstrom, the Chief Constable of North Wales, advocates an end
to UK drug policy based on "prohibition". . . . In his radical analysis,
which he will present to the North Wales Police Authority today, Mr
Brunstrom points out that illegal drugs are now cheaper and more
plentiful than ever before.

The number of users has soared while drug-related crime is rising with
narcotics now supporting a worldwide business empire second only in
value to oil. "If policy on drugs is in future to be pragmatic not
moralistic, driven by ethics not dogma, then the current prohibitionist
stance will have to be swept away as both unworkable and immoral, to be
replaced with an evidence-based unified system (specifically including
tobacco and alcohol) aimed at minimization of harms to society," he will
say.
