COP: DOPE IS 'LIKE BOOZE'

A Top Cop has made a new call to legalise drugs saying cannabis is like
getting drunk.

Chief Supt Anthony Wills, who retired from Scotland Yard on Friday said, "I
would have no problems with decriminalising drugs full stop, policing
cannabis is a waste of time. I don't feel the effects of cannabis are any
worse than over consumption of alcohol"

Mr Wills, who has two teenage children, was borough commander of
Hammersmith and Fulham in West London.

His remarks were branded "extremely naive" by Kevin Morris, president of
the Chief Superintendents' Association.

Yards Chiefs said he had expressed his personal views.
