Legalise heroin and cocaine to cut crime and improve health, top doctor says

Prof Ian Gilmore: Legalise heroin and cocaine to cut crime and improve health | Mail Online
Personal drug use should be legalised to cut crime and improve health, a top doctor has said.

Professor Sir Ian Gilmore, the outgoing president of the Royal College of Physicians, suggested that relaxing the law on possessing substances such as heroin, cocaine and cannabis would not increase the number of addicts.

This could save vast amounts of taxpayers' money, he suggests.
