Drugs war a lost cause

YOUR front page report headlined ‘War on drugs is not working, says EU commission’ (August 4) was insulting to the intelligence of any reader who knows anything about illegal drugs throughout the world.

What planet is occupied by the authors of such reports? When they were charged with the responsibility of writing such a report on drugs, did they ever really believe the “war” was being won or could be won?

The “war on drugs” has never worked, and it never will, because of the money to be made out of this illegal activity. It is time this nation, and Europe in general, began discussing the decriminalisation of all illegal drugs.
