Letter: Drug Policy: The US Lacks the Answers We Need

Robert Sharpe

The Times

Tuesday 05 Aug 2008

The results of a World Health Organisation survey published in July found that the United States had the highest rates of cannabis and cocaine use of 17 countries surveyed, including countries such as the Netherlands that have decriminalised drug use. These abysmal results are not due to lack of trying.
