Drug Legalisation

Senior Liberal Democrats have urged the party's leadership to consider backing the legalisation of all drugs.

Now, I am unsure as to whether I agree on this, but I do have a few points that they must consider if they're going to go ahead with it. Firstly, to buy drugs you must register that you are buying them - this would then be taken into account should you turn up in a hospital, especially if you'd been taking hard drugs. Secondly, any tax profit placed on drugs must go directly into the NHS - we don't want drugs to become a government money maker. Thirdly the use of drugs must be banned on the streets, and if they're easier to obtain the penalties for using them in public must be increased by a large amount.

I doubt this legalisation will ever occur, but if it does I certainly hope they do it correctly, or Britain really could become a drugs capital of the world.
