* "AGONY and Ecstasy" (issue 356) informs us that the only way to remove
Ecstasy from our cities is to clear it street by street.
The strategy of targeting street trade and small-time users has been the
cornerstone of Swedish drug policy since 1980. The result is that drug use
is exploding uncontrollably in Sweden. Despite Europe's most repressive
drug laws, the police and authorities are powerless to stop it. Prohibition
has failed. The only way we will ever control drugs is through
legalisation, regulation and taxation.
