AINSWORTH WAS PARTIALLY RIGHT WITH LEGALISE DRUGS CALL

Hard drugs are a growing problem in the UK and the authorities are
failing to contain their influence.

The spate of car crime in Malinslee which has spoilt Christmas for
many is probably heroin-related.

It is a terribly addictive substance but problems with addicts only
really begin when they cannot fund their habits.

We could tackle numerous problems all at once if we sourced the drug
from poor Afghan farmers and issued it on prescription.

Although the situation couldn't get any worse than it already is,
advisors appear to believe such a move would be politically unpopular
with a largely ignorant electorate.

It's easier to denigrate Mr Ainsworth for speaking out on the
issue.
