You wouldn't trust criminals to be in control of your tap water, something as benign as that, so why do we allow them to control something as dangerous as drugs?

After three years as the top police officer in Cambridgeshire, former chief Tom Lloyd is calling for discussions based around a radical new approach which would take the supply of drugs away from the criminal underworld. He suggests that the drugs trade should be recognised as a hugely profitable business and that efforts should be directed towards undermining that profitability. One approach that should be considered is that drugs, including heroin, should be supplied to desperate users safely and legally by the Government.
