Sir, – It is perhaps not surprising that a committee on drugs use did not find it ironic to issue what it described as a “Joint Committee” report favouring decriminalising the possession of drugs that are illegal to produce or import.
If it is okay to possess and use the drugs for personal use, why would it be illegal to produce or import the products for the personal use of others? It is the very “personal users” who are the supporters of the criminal elements who control and manage drug trafficking.
If the State is to declare it okay for teachers, doctors, nurses, etc to possess the products of criminals who are, to all intents and purposes, enemies of the State, why not nationalise the whole enterprise and make the drugs freely available through our local supermarkets? – Yours, etc,
