Legalising drugs is a simplistic solution

I THINK Ryle Dwyer (August 8) is being facile and simplistic when he reduces the issue of drug use to saying that legalising it “would knock the dealers out of business”.

All it would do is make them legal traders. But it is a much wider issue than that.

As he says, by selling drugs over the counter “addicts would be legally able to get their drugs cheaper”. This would make them more available.
