Scotland to Rethink War on Drugs.

"9 June 2006
MSPS DEMAND SUMMIT OVER DRUGS SCOURGE
Plea after cop warns war is lost
By Magnus Gardham

MSPs yesterday called for a drugs summit to take a fresh look at ways of tackling Scotland's growing problem.

It followed a warning by ex-Lothian and Borders deputy chief constable Tom Wood that the drug war was "long lost".

Now Nationalists and Tories want a major policy review.

Tory MSP David McLetchie said: "A lot of mixed messages come from the Executive. We need to get that sorted out.

"We need an overall strategy and a clearer understanding of what we're trying to achieve." Wood, who now chairs the Scottish Association of Alcohol and Drug Action Teams, also claimed that dealers could not be beaten.

He added: "We can never as a nation be drug-free. No nation can, so we must accept that."


He said education and deterring people from taking drugs should get top priority, ahead of crackdowns on dealers and rehab for addicts."

So how long till good old George W adds them to the "Axis of evil" because of their drug using ways?


It would be great if more countries could step up and state the obvious...the "drug war" cannot and will not ever be won. Its a war on every group of people in every part of the planet.
