Ireland: Expert group criticises Govt's drugs policy

RTE News

Friday 17 Nov 2006

---
An expert group on drugs has said the Government's policy on drugs does
more harm than good.

The Drug Policy Action Group also called on the Government to introduce
a drug classification system, similar to that in the UK, where drugs
like heroin and cocaine are dealt with more seriously than others, such
as cannabis.

The group is made up of academics and experts on drug addiction and
social policy.

At a seminar in Dublin today, it called on the Government to re-think
its approach to the country's drug problem.

The group said the majority of drug use is recreational and harmless,
but that current policy does not reflect this.

The experts called for penalties to be more proportionate to the harm
caused by the drugs.
