STOP TALKING TOUGH ON DRUGS

I WOULD never take ecstasy or aspirin unless prescribed.

However, I'm fed up with ignoramuses like Peter Stoker who has made a
career out of talking cp about drugs ('Cop or Clown?', WoS, Jan 6).

Brunstrom's comments are slightly misleading, because it's not that
simple. However, he is to be congratulated for stating the obvious:
that current policies are entirely counter-productive.

As long as lying hypocrites can get votes by talking tough on drugs,
no progress can be made.
