Chief's plea to legalise drugs gets dumped

What are your thoughts to the Daily Post story that the Home Secretary has effectively binned a detailed paper presented by North Wales Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom calling for drugs to be legalised?

Is it a missed opportunity? You certainly had plenty to say about the idea originally, Do you back chief's call to legalise drugs?

Big missed opportunity. Wrexham for example is full of drugs. Everywhere you have people, you have drugs. I remember one of the powers that be apparently saying in the paper that they refused licenses for some pubs as they "didn't want Wrexham to turn into a booze town". I mean why do such obviously-blind people have any say in the lives of others? It's exactly the same with the drugs laws. Prohibition has been tried. Legalisation hasn't. Drug use is not decreasing as far as I'm aware. Try something new, or admit that your thinking has no logic, Mr Brown et al!

Fantastic. Drugs should NEVER be legalised as it sends completely the wrong message out.

In fact I'd like to see trafficers and pushers subject to the same death penalties as happens in the likes of Thailand etc.

The misery this scum inflicts on people deserves such a penalty in my opinion.
