Drug Controls Are Backfiring On Police

Letters, Essex Evening Gazette

I agree with Mr Bridge (Evening Gazette 3/8/2000) a general lack of understanding about drugs and a lack of education has attributed to more people seeking help with a drug problem.

There is also another reason: increased spending on law enforcement (prohibition) has encouraged distributors to switch from delivering bulkier, detectable cannabis to cocaine. This has had the knock-on effect of encouraging users to switch from cannabis to addictive drugs like cocaine. which poses the serious detriment to public health highlighted by the article.

The fact is while middle-aged, middle class chaps are asking around the golf course for viagra, a black market will supply them.

How many black markets are the police expected to pursue
