Legalise drugs for a safer world, says former Home Office minister Bob Ainsworth
Summery
Home Office minister Bob Ainsworth says that drugs should be legalised. Ainsworth said yesterday that prohibbiting drugs caused more problems instead of solving them. He also says that leaving the drugs market in the hands of criminals could cause even more mischief to people, communities and countries. The UK now needs a better option and that is a strict system of legal regulations. Ainsworth says that by legalising drugs the world would be a better place. Former Tory cabinet minister Peter Lilley and senior Lib Dem backbencher Tom Brake support Ainsworth in his statement.

I think that legalising drugs would work. People do not need criminals or other dodgy people anymore to buy their drugs from but they could buy it in some sort of shop. The government needs to organize it very well though to make sure only the right shops sell drugs and that there is a restriciton on how much people can buy. It is proven that legalising drugs works, like here in the Nethelands. We have less drugs related problems and I think that there might even be less people using drugs than before it was legalised.
