BRITISH POLICE OFFICIAL CALLS FOR LEGALIZING HEROIN, COCAINE

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

SUN, UK - Ecstasy is safer than aspirin, top cop Richard Brunstrom
claimed yesterday. He also repeated his call for Class A substances like
heroin and cocaine to be legalized. The North Wales chief constable
claimed such a move was "inevitable" - and could happen in 10 years.

About 400 people in the UK have died from ecstasy since 1994. But Mr
Brunstrom, known for targeting speeding drivers, called it a "remarkably
safe substance, far safer than aspirin."

The maverick cop told the BBC: "There is a lot of scaremongering, rumour
mongering around ecstasy. It isn't borne out by the evidence. Ecstasy is
not a safe substance and I'm not suggesting that it is. But it is much
less dangerous than, for instance, tobacco and alcohol."
