INVESTIGATE TERRORISTS, NOT GROW-OPS

AS a police officer in the US who has worked the trenches of the drug
war, I can attest to the absolute futility of making a dent in drug
supply or availability.

Today, I know that the UK's sworn enemy Al qaeda makes two billion
pounds per year, which they use to fund operations such as 7/7.

Too many thousands of police officers in the UK are not investigating
leads on terrorists, rather they are out breaking into a house with a
cannabis growing operation.

In the century of 9/11 and 7/7 this is fence-post stupid.

You claim that the situation would become worse post-prohibition.

What research have you read?

The Swiss have dramatically reduced crime, death, disease and heroin
use using a legal heroin distribution approach.
